THEOLOGY AND SCIENCE WITHOUT DUALISM
by Elizabeth Newman

Both modernism's disinterested spectator and postmodernism's deconstructed self lead to the gnostic belief that we are in bondage to the world. Biblically informed myth offers an escape.

Four issues which will be significant in the subsequent analysis of models arise here in discussing these other linguistic forms: (1) the role of analogy, (2) the relation of religious symbolism to human experience, (3) the diverse functions of religious language (especially evident in the case of myth) and (4) the cognitive status of religious language. I will suggest that the idea of religious models offers a distinctive way of dealing with each of these issues.

The overriding theme in the four Papers in this book is man's position in the universe. A clear understanding of what that position really is, seen in the light of evidences of divine forethought in creation, is important not only in his search for meaning and purpose in life, but for his spiritual well-being.

Gnosticism
http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/g/gnostic.htm
Gnosticism, as an intellectual product, is grounded firmly in the general human act of reflecting upon existence. The Gnostics were concerned with the basic questions of existence or "being-in-the-world" (Dasein) -- that is: who we are (as human beings), where we have come from, and where we are heading, historically and spiritually.

REV. DANIEL J. PRICE: Discovering a Dynamic Concept of the Person
in Both Psychology and Theology

From Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith 45 (September 1993): 170-180.
In the past century and a half scientists have increasingly perfected their tools for the study of human persons. Little surprise, then, that the relatively new field of modern psychology has steadily grown in influence. Traditionally, there has been a good deal of animosity between modern psychology and Christian theology. This has been especially true of the psychoanalytic tradition begun by Freud and carried on by a number of his followers. Does this longstanding antipathy need to remain? Post-Freudian object relations psychology has developed from Freud's insights into the unconscious processes which influence human behavior. But object relations has, for the most part, rejected Freud's biological reductionism. Object relations theories have built upon Freud's foundational discovery of the importance of childhood, while pushing back the veil from the infant's relations to the parent. Could there be analogies here between what the object relations psychologists are uncovering and what the Bible tells us about ourselves? I propose that such is the case if one compares the theological doctrine of the person found in the writings of Karl Barth with certain aspects of object relations psychology.

Why Be Moral? By Ellen Myers

Christianity is NOT Morality. by James A. Fowler. 1998
Morals are the acceptable behavior based on the mores of a social grouping. Jesus did not come to give us a standardized moral code to which all should conform, but to give us His life whereby the divine character might be expressed through our behavior.
