DESCRIPTION:All are welcome.\n\nNatural theology is generally understood t
 o concern what we can know about God purely by being human\, apart from an
 y special revelation. The subject has had a chequered history but is still
  a live area of enquiry today\, especially with insights from science such
  as cosmological fine-tuning. However\, the very idea of doing natural the
 ology has been seriously challenged from within systematic theology\, most
  notably by the great Protestant theologian Karl Barth. In this lecture I 
 critique Barth’s position\, especially by arguing that natural theology 
 is included in God’s revelation in the Bible where it is portrayed as gi
 ving knowledge of God which is universally available. I conclude with a br
 ief consideration of theologians who have reconsidered the place of natura
 l theology following on from Barth.
