Abstract
Theology used to be regarded as the queen of the sciences; now it is alienated from the main body of academic activities, especially the natural sciences. We need theological reflection that serves all the academic disciplines, as an integral part of the study of life. Theology is needed to help overcome the reductionism of the modern sciences and the fragmentation of the full reality of life. Theology should function as an integrative discourse to build a holistic relationship among the disciplines. Two tasks will be presented: (1) The Story of Life as an integrative discourse on life; and (2) Convergence of the Eastern Wisdom of life and the modern sciences of life as a way toward multi-disciplinary methodology. In the 21st century the universal issue is life: the life of all living beings, and how to overcome the powers that destroy life, such as war, poverty, hunger, disease, political oppression, cultural desertification and ecological disruption, in the context of imperial hegemony. The global empire and the global market, organized by modern technocratic power and based on modern scientific knowledge, have created an omnicidal threat on an unprecedented scale.
