The eye of faith and the eye of science: Regin Prenter and Niels Henrik Gregersen on God's creation
One the one hand, Regin Prenter gets it right theologically: creation and redemption belong together. On the other hand, Prenter's method is visually impaired; he looks at God's creation with only one eye, the eye of faith. If he would open his other eye and look at creation as a scientist...

| Summary: | One the one hand, Regin Prenter gets it right theologically: creation and redemption belong together. On the other hand, Prenter's method is visually impaired; he looks at God's creation with only one eye, the eye of faith. If he would open his other eye and look at creation as a scientist sees it, his doctrine of creation would be broader, deeper, and more textured. This is what two-eyed Niels Henrik Gregersen does when he incorporates into his theological vision the scientific idea of autopoiesisthat is, nature's own creative advance. |
