Abstract:

Alister McGrath responds to an important recent critique of his exploration of the dialogue between science and theology by the noted Australian theoretical physicist Ross McKenzie.The criticisms concerned relate to the use made of modern physics, the engagement with postmodernism, an evangelical perspective on theology, and fidelity to the thought of T. F.Torrance. A response is offered to these concerns, noting particularly the extended and more developed discussion of these issues in A Scientific Theology (2001–2003).
