Summary

Ellis and Murphy show how contemporary sciences actually support a religiously based ethic of nonviolence, not by appealing to the Enlightment's mechanismic Creator God or revelation's Father God but by discerning the transcendent ground in the laws of nature, the emergence of intelligent freedom, and the echoes of "knoetic" self-giving in cosmology and biology.

Author Biography

George F. R. Ellis is Professor of Applied Mathematics, University of Cape Town, South Africa, Visiting Professor of Astronomy at the University of London, and President of the Royal Society of South Africa.
