Preface and Acknowledgments

The idea for this volume came about from several conversations in Princeton between the co-editors, Knut-Willy Sæther of Volda University College in Volda, Norway, and Thomas John Hastings of Overseas Ministries Studies Center (OMSC), then located in New Haven, Connecticut, USA, when Knut-Willy was a visiting scholar at Princeton Theological Seminary and Tom was a senior research fellow in science and religion at the Japan International Christian University Foundation in New York City. Following Tom’s move to OMSC, in November 2017 he and Knut-Willy invited a small group of European, Asian, and American scholars in philosophy, theology, and religion to explore the themes of fallibilism and dualism. The meeting culminated with an initial discussion of our chapters for the current volume. We wish to express our thanks to Volda University College for supporting this project with a grant that
