Epiphany for a Small Planet: Christology, Astronomy, and Mutuality
Abstract
Does the new picture of the vast cosmos we learn from science change our theology? What difference would alien intelligent life make to our Christology? After presenti ng a "mutuality" model for the relationship between theology and natural sciences (as developed in my 2003 book) I will explore these questions, using astrobiology and Christology as my example of mutuality.
