Aprašymas
For much of the twentieth century, the relationship between science and Christian faith was framed as an either/or choice. Readers are invited to reconsider that assumption through the life and thought of neo-evangelical American Baptist theologian Bernard Ramm (1916-1992), one of the most significant yet underappreciated figures in modern evangelical history. Ramm argued that scientific inquiry and Christian belief need not stand in opposition. He became a leading voice in the neo-evangelical movement of the 1940s and beyond. This volume situates Ramm within the larger history of the American Baptist denomination and the rise of American Protestant fundamentalism before tracing his personal and theological journey away from separatism and toward engagement. Particular attention is given to his pioneering efforts to foster rapprochement between Christianity and modern science, as expressed in his writings, institutional leadership, and professional relationships.
