Religious naturalism and the religion-science dialogue: A minimalist view

Author:Stone, JA

Article Title:Religious naturalism and the religion-science dialogue: A minimalist view

Abstract:
Although its roots go back at least to Spinoza, religious naturalism is once again becoming a self-conscious option in religious thinking. This article seeks to (1) provide a generic notion of religious naturalism, (2) sketch MY own minimalist variety of religious naturalism, and (3) view the science-religion dialogue from both of these perspectives. This last will include reflection on the nature of scientific practices, the contributions of religious traditions to moral reflection, and Ursula Goodenough's religiopoiesis.

Keywords: Willem Drees; Ursula Goodenough; Sandra Harding; Charley Hardwick; humanism; Bernard Meland; minimalist vision of transcendence; Lynn Hankinson Nelson; religiopoiesis; religious naturalism; religious traditions; J. Wentzel van Huyssteen; Henry Nelson Wieman
