God and Nature is a guidebook designed for a course on Natural Theology and Scientific Theology. Treat it as a workbook for use in a course or as a workbook for self-reflection and research. By exploring the topics herein, you can gain a familiarity with some of the basic topics, tools, and models of God's relation to nature and creation. Although this exploration is not limited to standard treatments explored in philosophy, it surveys those issues along with the relation Scripture has to our understanding of nature. Consider this one contribution to a larger movement of retrieval and recovery of theology as a science and as the 'Queen of the Sciences'. Come along with me as we journey through some of the most vital issues at the intersection of science and ultimate reality.
