Reflection on God’s Works
Entwistle noted that “theological reflection typically focuses more on God’s workings in the
world,” while “psychological reflection typically focuses more on the workings of God’s world.”
What implications does this have for the relationship between psychology and ChristianityThe Glory of God
Kepler saw astronomers as “priests of Almighty God” who have “the honour of standing
guard…at the door of the shrine at whose high altar Copernicus performs divine service.” How
might this sentiment apply to all of us who study the book of God’s Works? How can we heed
Kepler’s warning to “not consider the glory of our intellects, but the glory of God” in our
academic and disciplinary pursuits?
