Abstract

(ed.) Philosophy of Biology (scan Chapters 12 – 15, 19 - 20, 26 – 27; read remainder) [this is a difficult book that assumes, in some chapters, a knowledge of biology; scan and try to understand, but do not be excessively concerned as basic concepts will be covered in class] Santmire, H.P. , Nature Reborn: The Ecological and Cosmic Promise of Christian Theology [introduces major theological themes, though not from a particularly evangelical position; be able to respond sympathetically to the issues raised, even if not the specific expressions in the text]https://place.asburyseminary.edu/syllabi/3902/thumbnail.jp
