Sinopsis
Excerpt from Theology as an Empirical Science
Theology, in its days of undisputed supremacy, was defined as the science of God. Of late, under the stress of much hostile criticism, there has been a strategic retreat, and the definitions generally favored are modest statements to the effect that theology is the intellectual expression of religion. The general situation, however, has come to be such as calls for a counter attack, having as its objective the recovery of a scientific status for theology, and a much stronger and more secure consolida tion of this scientific position than originally existed.

Excerpt from Theology as an Empirical Science
A word of explanation seems called for, in order to remove, if possible, an initial prejudice which is likely to be aroused by the title chosen for this volume. Let it be understood from tho first, then, that what is claimed here, essentially, is just this: that it is possible to relate theological theory to that acquaintance with the divine which is to be found in religious experience at its best, as the physical and social sciences, with their theories as to the nature of things and persons, arc related to our common human acquaintance with things and persons in sense and social experience. What is aimed at in almost all of the recognized empirical sciences is not a mere description of the processes of our experiencing; otherwise individual psychology would be the only empirical science. What we are after, ordinarily, is an adequate understanding of the nature of the things and persons with which ordinary experience makes us acquainted. And if the reader comes finally to grant not only that genuine knowledge of a divine Reality has been gained through religious experience at its best, but also that this knowledge may be formulated and further developed by means of the inductive procedure advocated and exemplified in the body of this book, the author will not be disposed to quarrel with him over the comparatively unimportant question as to whether or not it is expedient to speak of the resultant theology as "an empirical science."
In order that the theology may be viewed in relation to a harmonious philosophical background, I have appended to the main discussion a sketch of the philosophy of religion, with illustrations of a point of view and method which I have called Critical Monism.

Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book challenges the common misconception that theology is inherently unscientific. The author argues that, just like the physical and social sciences, theology can be grounded in empirical knowledge gained through religious experience. By examining historical and contemporary theological methods, the book explores how theology can establish its validity and become a part of science. It critically analyzes traditionalistic, rationalistic, and empirical approaches, concluding that an empirical method based on free agency, the possibility of immortality, and the reality of sin and its consequences offers the most viable path forward. Through a detailed examination of the nature of God, the person of Christ, and the work of the Holy Spirit, the book provides a framework for understanding theology as an empirical science. This insightful work challenges readers to rethink the relationship between faith and knowledge, offering a compelling argument for the scientific study of religious experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
