| Résumé : |
For John M. Templeton, the author of this fascinating study, there is no question but that the most vital issue in the world is the relationship between humankind and God, In this readable discussion, he tackles that crucial relationship on the most sensitive possible ground for twentieth century people—the discovery of God by scientists searching the universe for knowledge. For generations it has been assumed that the discoveries of science, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries, tended to refute the beliefs of religious people and the established religions, and challenged the very existence of God. Templeton makes a striking argument for just the opposite point of view. He goes to the writing of many of the world's leading scientific thinkers— men as diverse in background as Albert Einstein and Teilhard de Chardin—and discovers them, over and over again, coming into contact with Divinity.
THE HUMBLE APPROACH is a vivid attempt to make modern people aware of their relative position in the vast web of life as we know it. Templeton believes that the best way to know God is quite literally through humility— the humble approach of the title. And he makes a striking case for the humble approach being the approach that even the most advanced scientists have come to in their quest for ultimate truths. And he discovers that many of these men of science have found God while on their quests for data about the universe. In addition to the readable text, this book provides an invaluable tool for the modern searcher after truth. He has assembled an eclectic, challenging, and totally original bibliography of books and articles discussing the scientists’ perceptions of religion and religious thinkers' perceptions of science. And the books and articles cited have been chosen for their accessibility to the average reader, as well as for their value to the seeker after ultimate knowledge. . |
