自然神學的探討和展望──以路德、加爾文及麥格夫為例/麥劍鋒

撮要

在二十一世紀科學的發展,人類從大自然對上帝的創造有更深入的認識。只是在神學與科學上的整合存在鴻溝,而自然神學是可解決這鴻溝。本文探討兩位更正教的神學家:路德和加爾文對大自然的看法開始,再看麥格夫對今天自然神學的演繹。最後我們展望自然神學之前景,尤其是與公共神學之間的關係。

 

ABSTRACT

While the 21st century has experienced significant innovative science development, human mankind through the nature has gained a much better perception of God’s creation. There’s still a gap to integrate theology and science, but natural theology can close this gap. To analyze the issue, this article will discuss the view of nature of two prominent protestant theologians, Martin Luther and John Calvin; then we will explore the Alister McGrath’s interpretation of natural theology today; finally, we will look into the future prospects of natural theology, especially its relationship with the public theology.
