God and the World: A Survey of Thought
Produced by Al Haines
"God and the World: A Survey of Thought" by Arthur William Robinson is a philosophical examination written in the early 20th century. The work engages with fundamental questions regarding the relationship between science and religion, particularly as it pertains to the existence of God, the nature of the universe, and the evolution of thought in response to scientific discoveries. It aims to provide insights into the theological implications of scientific developments in light of long-standing beliefs and controversies. The opening of this survey sets the stage for a discussion on the profound questions that define human existence. It highlights the transition from a period of unquestioned orthodoxy in religious thought to a time marked by significant scientific advances, particularly in biology and physics, which challenge traditional perspectives. Robinson introduces themes of inquiry, stating that the size of questions determines the greatness of an individual and an era. He expresses a sincere desire to understand and articulate the theological consequences of modern scientific discoveries, foreshadowing a critical examination of both sides of the debate over faith and reason.
