Article Title：Appreciating a scientist-theologian: Some remarks on the work of John Polkinghorne

Abstract：
Perhaps the greatest irony about the contemporary religion-science dialogue is the fact char, despite their own strongly articulated denials, many thinkers implicitly accept the warfare thesis of A. D. White-that is, they agree with White that traditional theology has proved unable to engage science in fruitful conversation. More than most others, John Polkinghorne understands just how badly White misread the history of Christianity and science, and how much theology has been impoverished by its failure to challenge this core assumption of modernity.

Keywords: divine action; resurrection; theodicy; transcendence; warfare thesis
