Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisThe Humble Approach argues against centuries of belief in the scientific world regarding the non-existen ce of God. Taking his cue from the writings of many celebrat ed scientists the author maintains that God is very great an d humans are very small. ', The Humble Approach teaches that man can discover and comprehend only a few of the infinite aspects of God's nature, never enough to form a comprehensive theology. The humble approach may be a science still in its infancy, but it seeks to develop a way of knowing God appropriate to His greatness and our littleness., For generations the discoveries of science tended to challenge the very existence of God. Templeton makes a striking argument for just the opposite point of view. He goes to the writings of many of the world's leading scientific thinkers--as diverse in background as Albert Einstein and Teilhard de Chardin--and discovers them in awe of the universe, perceiving the hand of Divine mystery at work. The Humble Approach teaches that man can discover and comprehend only a few of the infinite aspects of God's nature, never enough to form a comprehensive theology. The humble approach may be a science still in its infancy, but it seeks to develop a way of knowing God appropriate to His greatness and our littleness.
