Publisher's Description
This book argues that it is possible for our study of the natural world to enhance our understanding of God and for our faith to inform and influence our study and application of science. Whether you are a student, someone employed in the sciences, or simply an interested layperson, Not Just Science will help you develop the crucial skills of critical thinking and reflection about key questions in Christian faith and natural science. The contributors provide a systematic approach to both raising and answering the key questions that emerge at the intersection of faith and various disciplines in the natural sciences. Among the questions addressed are the context, limits, benefits, and practice of science in light of Christian values. Questions of ethics as they relate to various applied sciences are also discussed. The end goal is an informed biblical worldview on both nature and our role in obeying God’s mandate to care for his creation. With an honest approach to critical questions, Not Just Science fills a gap in the discussion about the relationship between faith and reason. This is a most welcomed addition to these significant scholarly conversations. Ron Mahurin, PhD Vice President, Professional Development and Research Council for Christian Colleges & Universities

“This is a most welcome volume. There is no better place to begin for those seeking a sense of the evangelical perspective on the range of questions emerging in the current dialogue between Christianity and the natural sciences.”
“For Christians—whether students or their teachers—accustomed to holding the worlds of science and faith apart, Chappell and Cook have performed an invaluable service. With an impressive assembly of balanced and informed contributors, they show that God’s ways cannot be segregated, that believers need to learn from and engage the sciences, and that we have the resources to move forward into this conversation faithfully as Christians.”
