She argues for the rationality of Christian belief by showing that theological reasoning is similar to scientific reasoning as described by contemporary philosophy of science. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMurphy draws on new historicist accounts of science, particularly that of lmre Lakatos. According to Lakatos, scientists work within a \"research program\" consisting of a fixed core theory and a series of changing auxiliary hypotheses that allow for prediction and \u003cbr\u003eexplanation of novel facts: Murphy argues that strikingly similar patterns of reasoning can be used to justify theological assertions. She provides an original characterization of theological data and explores the consequences for theology and philosophy of religion of adopting such an approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancey Murphy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801481147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801481147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Nancey Murphy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981230178559,"sku":"9780801481147","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2edfb84-d85a-4f98-a9cb-dea6311409ca.jpg?v=1683254372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theology-in-the-age-of-nancey-murphy-9780801481147","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
