These volumes are marked throughout by a sustained and critical engagement with the history and philosophy of the natural sciences, and a passionate commitment to the legitimacy of theology as an academic discipline. This second volume in the series provides a detailed and thorough examination and defence of theological realism. Engaging critically with writers such as George Lindbeck and John Milbank, McGrath offers a sparkling and sophisticated affirmation of theological realism against its modern and post-modern critics. His refutation of the claim that the rise of philosophical non-foundationalism entails the abandoning of any form of realism is of particular importance, as is his application of the highly influential form of "critical realism" developed by Roy Bhaskar. Viewed as a whole, this volume represents a sustained engagement with natural theology as the basis of a broader dialogue between the Christian tradition and other religious traditions.
