Contents:

Hermeneutics and the interdisciplinary question -- Ricoeur and the expansion of hermeneutics -- Interpretation as understanding through explanation -- Interpretation and the natural sciences -- Interdisciplinary interpretation.

Summary: Kenneth A. Reynhout contributes to the growing field of religion and science by developing an alternative understanding of interdisciplinary theology that is fundamentally hermeneutical. Based on a careful and creative application of Paul Ricoeur's philosophy, Reynhout argues that theologians borrow meaning from the sciences through a process of "interdisciplinary interpretation," a process that can honestly attend to the legitimate challenges posed by the natural sciences without automatically requiring the evacuation of theological norms and convictions.</span.
