Publisher's Description
To many people, science and the Christian faith are worlds apart. As a result, those who love both the Bible and science often have something to explain. Hasn't science taken over the role of religion in our days? And what relevance can such an ancient book as the Bible possibly still have in our hypermodern times? This study attempts to elucidate the Bible's continuing appeal and significance in an age characterized by science and ever more sophisticated technology. It does so by means of ten soundings in individual biblical texts, which are applied to the thought world of contemporary science. The results are remarkable and offer a lot of food for thought.

“Gijsbert van den Brink has placed us all in his debt by this effort to engage a set of controversies raised by natural science for biblical faith. With attention to the dimensions of wisdom, van den Brink takes biblical authority seriously while asking challenging questions about the genre, worldview, and true meaning of biblical texts. Even readers who disagree with some of his judgments should appreciate the biblical foundation and wise serenity of his work.”
“This book offers substantial, non-technical reflections on questions about science, faith, and Scripture by distinguishing the original meaning of a text from its lasting significance. There is attention for the possibilities and limitations of scholarship in many areas. Importantly, it models attitudes towards faith and scholarship, making it relevant for a broad range of issues. Questions for discussion are included.”
