A generation later Barth's translator and pupil Thomas Torrance maintained that science had changed enough to make an engagement more fruitful. In works such as \u003ci\u003eTheological Science\u003c\/i\u003e, Torrance sketched out the contours of such and engagement. However at the same time the anarchic philosopher of science, Paul Feyerabend, in books such as \u003ci\u003eAgainst Method\u003c\/i\u003e, sought to deconstruct any notion of 'science' as ultimately the protection of vested interests. This book analyses whether Torrance's notion of science can withstand this newer post-modern threat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Munchin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004194592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004194595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2011 pg. 12","brand":"David Munchin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424630522111,"sku":"9789004194595","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2c6f2e9-ba56-4de1-9de9-4c536aefae43.jpg?v=1761531500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/is-theology-a-science-david-munchin-9789004194595","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
