Re: [asa] Anyone Know Kevin Sharpe?

Kevin J Sharpe has written several books. One (1993) has the title
"David Bohm's World: New Physics and New Religion". He now has a new
book with release date Sept 28, 2006. An editorial review at Amazon.com
reads:
"In his new bookScience of God: Truth in the Age of Science, Kevin
Sharpe proposes a method for doing theology which does not divorce it
from the practical applications of science. Not only does this work
establish that theology ought to be empirical in what it says about the
world and God's relationship to it, but it also outlines a clear method
for doing this. Science and theology can each share the same empirical
method: when each attempts a description of any part of reality, it is
relying on its own essential assumptions, or lens. When applied to
theology, the method assumes the existence of God and then seeks the
nature of God using falsifiable and verifiable techniques. Starting with
the sciences that examine happiness--particularly biology, genetics, and
psychology--Science of God seeks to understand the spiritual nature of
humans and, through it, the nature of God."
Incidentally, Sharpe is a Kiwi who formerly was a chaplain at the
University of Auckland.
