Realism and Christian faith : towards an ontological approach -- 'Limping with two different opinions'? -- Taking leave of theological realism -- Realism and Christian faith after Wittgenstein -- The grammar of Christian faith and the relationship between philosophy and theology -- Representation, reconciliation, and the problem of meaning -- God, reality, and realism -- Speaking the reality of God -- Realism : conformed to the conforming Word.
The author challenges recent understandings of the relationship between science and Christianity and argues for a conception of realism according to which God's independent reality is shown principally in Christ and, on this basis, through Christian practices and the lives of Christians.
