The British physicist and theologian John Polkinghorne is a bright late 20th - early 21st century Western Christian apologist, whose thought should be studied carefully. This article seeks to explore into Polkinghorne’s key approaches to the dialogue between Christian theology and scientific thought. The author analyzes the critical realist method as applicable in science and theology and reviews Polkinghorne’s new natural theology as a setting for a theology of creation. The author also validates the need for theological loyalty as a pretext for a dialogue between theology and science.
