Follow authors to get new release updates, plus improved recommendations. Andrew Davison is theologian at the University of Cambridge, writing on Christian doctrine, science, and philosophy. Also priest and preacher, he is widely respected for his commitment to clarity and communication, writing articles for newspapers and popular journals as well as books that have become standard works in their fields. He is the Starbridge Professor of Theology and Natural Sciences as the University of Cambridge, and a fellow of Corpus Christi College, where he is also the Dean of Chapel. He is a canon of St Albans Cathedral. Andrew's most recent books are Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine (2023) and Participation in God (2020). The former explores the significance of life beyond Earth for Christian belief, and was described in Church Times as 'a magnificently fair, informative, trustworthy, and mind-expanding work of theology, surely a modern classic in the field'. Participation in God sets out an encompassing vision of Christianity in terms of sharing in God and sharing from God. It was described in Modern Theology as ‘a magnificent gift to teachers and students of Christian theology, preachers of the faith, spiritual directors of the faithful, and specialists requiring a systematic theology of participation.’ On prayer, liturgy, and sacramental theology, his Why Sacraments? (2013) is used around the world as an introduction to that topic, while his Blessing (2014) is accessible yet also the most extensive theological treatment of the topic. His The Love of Wisdom (2013) is an introduction to philosophy for anyone interested in theology. It is widely used as a text book in the United States. Other books include collaborations: Care for the Dying, with physician Sioned Evans, For the Parish, with Alison Milbank, and the edited collection Imaginative Apologetics. Since 2010, Andrew has been working with Sarah Lenton on her acclaimed series Creative Ideas for Children's Worship. From 2022–2024 Andrew is the Distinguished Visiting Fellow in Science and Theology at the Center of Theological Inquiry, Princeton.

Review‘This innovative and immensely readable work is easily the best introduction currently available to the theological questions raised by the possibility of extraterrestrial life. It offers both a critical analysis of issues such as multiple incarnations and a constructive response to them, deeply rooted in the Christian tradition.’ Alister McGrath, Senior Research Fellow, Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion, & Emeritus Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion, University of Oxford‘If you feel that religion has nothing to tell us about the space-age challenges we face, you may be surprised to learn that theologians have been writing about life beyond Earth for nearly six centuries. Read this book and let Andrew Davison be your guide to the thousands of years of thinking about our place in the universe. From Plato through ‘The Force’, he illuminates the issues and arguments with clarity and humour. This is a must-read.’ William D. Barry, Ph.D., NASA Chief Historian, retired‘… a very readable, informative, and, indeed, theologically exciting book … a magnificently fair, informative, trustworthy, and mind-expanding work of theology, surely a modern classic in the field.' Canon Kevin Ward, Church Times‘… I believe that Davison makes a strong case for the multiple incarnation position. [His book] provides us with a mini-systematic theology that addresses God, creation, fall, sin, Christology, and even eschatology … I commend Professor Davison for tackling the implications of astrobiology in this fashion.' Ted Peters, The Heythrop Journal‘What makes this book worthwhile is the structured way in which the big questions about extraterrestrial life are presented and the surprising insights from the history of thinking about extraterrestrial life.’ M. E. Harmsen, Theologia Reformata‘This work is outstanding in both breadth and depth and will satisfy the curious layman and expert alike.’ Samuel McKee, Reading Religion
Book DescriptionSo much now points to life beyond Earth. This book addresses the impact that would make on Christian belief.

In recent decades, powerful telescopes have enabled astrophysicists to uncover startling new worlds and solar systems. An epochal moment came in 1995, when a planet – 51 Pegasi b – was located orbiting a star other than our own sun. Since then, thousands of new planets have followed, and the question of life beyond earth has become one of the principal topics in discussions between science and religion. Attention to this topic has a long history in Christian theology, but has rarely been pursued at any depth. Writing with both passion and precision, Andrew Davison brings his extensive knowledge of Christian thought to bear, drawing particularly on the thought of Thomas Aquinas, as well as his training as a scientist. No book to date better prepares the Christian community for responding to evidence of other life, if it is found. And yet, we do not need to wait for that to have happened before this book shows its worth. In thinking about planets, creatures, and ecosystems beyond our planet, Davison already reinvigorates our theology for the earth.Giá bán
