Science & Faith

“Wanting to specify God’s role in the origin of consciousness, Dr. Ventureyra painstakingly presents a critical overview of theories in neuroscience, philosophy, and especially different entangled theologies. A useful categorization of the theories, although overlapping, is a major contribution; but the field remains ever a jungle. Nonetheless, this lay of the land might serve as a welcome provocative prelude to other takes on the matter.”
