Reihe: Religion, Theologie und Naturwissenschaft /Religion, Theology, and Natural Science

This book presents an epistemological theory of revelation as perception and a relational-narrative theological ontology based on the concept of dramatic coherence, in which the triune life is understood not as an anomaly within ontology, but rather as the decisive condition of its possibility. It further demonstrates that potential for resolving certain theological problems arises if new insights from the natural sciences, such as the theory of the ecological brain in the neurosciences and the theory of niche-construction in evolutionary theory, are taken into account. Similarly, it also proposes that neuroscience and evolutionary biology can procure advantages from a dialogue with theology by considering the conceptual implications stemming from a phenomenological approach and relational-narrative ontology.
