Cosmology and theology share a long held relationship with one another, explaining as they do the constitution of the world and the interaction of forces. The author explores the history of this relationship, from ancient pre-scientific and theological explanations through to contemporary science and philosophy. From the pre-Socratic tradition to the emergence of Christian orthodoxy, to contemporary science, the author traces the development of Logos theology and the pattern of theological and philosophical explanations of the world, the universe, and life.
