  • ASTONISHMENT AND SCIENCE
    PAUL TYSON
    Science can reveal or conceal the breathtaking wonders of creation. On one hand, knowledge of the natural world can open us up to greater love for the Creator, give us the means of more neighborly care, and fill us with ever-deepening astonishment. On the other hand, knowledge feeding an insatiable hunger for epistemic mastery can become a means of idolatry, hubris, and damage....

  • SEVEN BRIEF LESSONS ON MAGIC
    PAUL TYSON
    Is magic real? Could anything be real that can't be quantified or scientifically investigated? Are qualities like love, beauty, and goodness really just about hormones and survival? Are strangely immaterial things, like thought and personhood, fully explainable in scientific terms? Does nature itself have any intrinsic value, mysterious presence, or transcendent horizon? Once w...

  • KIERKEGAARD’S THEOLOGICAL SOCIOLOGY
    PAUL TYSON
    Kierkegaard developed a distinctive type of sociology in the 1840s--a theological sociology.

He gets right inside the urban world of Golden Age Denmark, and its religion, and...

  • DE-FRAGMENTING MODERNITY
    PAUL TYSON
    We live in a strangely fragmented lifeworld. On the one hand, abstract constructions of our own imagination--such as money, "mere" facts, and mathematical models--are treated by us as important objective facts. On the other hand, our understanding of the concrete realities of meaning and value in which our daily lives are actually embedded--love, significance, purpose, wonder--...

  • RETURNING TO REALITY
    PAUL TYSON
    Could it be that we have lost touch with some basic human realities in our day of high-tech efficiency, frenetic competition, and ceaseless consumption? Have we turned from the moral, the spiritual, and even the physical realities that make our lives meaningful? These are metaphysical questions--questions about the nature of reality--but they are not abstract questions. These a...

  • FAITH'S KNOWLEDGE
    PAUL TYSON
    Can we know truth even though certain proof is unattainable? Can we be known by Truth? Is there a relationship between belief and truth, and if so, what is the nature of that relationship? Do we need to have faith in reason and in real meaning to be able to reason towards truth? These are the sorts of questions this book seeks to address. In Faith's Knowledge, Paul Tyson argues...

  • GENDER THEORY IS WRONG
    PAUL TYSON
    In recent decades gender identity theory has surged from queer obscurity to mainstream prominence. The basic idea is that “gender” is a personal and performative identity category, and one’s “sex” is defined by one’s gender, not the other way around. Further, this is not just a theory, it is a political and moral imperative. In the cause of justice for the marginal and a divers...

  • YOUR BODY IS HOLY
    PAUL TYSON
    The Christian understanding of sex is defined by categories of right worship, the iconic and sacred meaning of the sexed human body, and the marriage of Christ to the church. Centrally, the love of God as the first reality of our lives (right worship) defines the love of one's neighbor as oneself (sexual ethics). This Christian understanding has unique signatures that many youn...
