Anticipating God's New Creation: Essays in Honor of Ted Peters

Publisher Description

Ted Peters has influenced a generation of scholars, pastors, professors, and parishioners to realize that God's work in the world can be most fruitfully understood at the intersections between theology, science, and culture. He has developed methods for theological inquiry that are born of and determined by his personal experiences, as well as by the political, historical, and scientific contexts in which he is living. Peters' scholarly acumen and theological curiosity have given rise to his many influential works on genetics, evolution, cosmology, and more works that directly address the influences of a scientific worldview upon people s theological and secular self-understandings. Ted Peters has consistently promulgated a theological vision for how God's action from the future is anticipated now. Moreover, Peters' thinking theologically about how God s future can become present to our world has shaped not only his own work but subsequent generations of scholars, pastors, and professional colleagues.
