The object of this work is the interdisciplinary dialogue between
natural sciences and Christian theology. It studies the theological,
epistemological and semantic conditions that make possible an
articulation between scientific worldviews and theological discourses.
Based on some theological and epistemological conditions, this work
proposes a theological method that articulates scientific worldviews
into systematic theology through the mediation of philosophy. The method
seeks two objectives: (a) that theology remains in its epistemological
boundaries and (b) to respect the autonomy of natural sciences. Finally,
the proposed theological method is applied to three examples in dialogue
with natural sciences: (i) creation, (ii) human action and (iii) a
spiritual contemplation of God’s presence in the world.







This book follows the contributions of two major scholars of the
Twentieth Century: Jean Ladrière and Xavier Zubiri. Our considerations
are based on the scholars’ analyses of the plurality of epistemologies
and their analyses of the intellectual act.
