Science & Faith
“Set against the background of the Covid-19 pandemic, this unusual and important book is about causation and how causation affects our everyday life of experience. Using information from many different disciplines, the author’s approach is thoughtful and carefully nuanced. Too often Christians arrive at over-simplistic conclusions about what happens in their lives, sometimes leading to outcomes that are pastorally damaging. This book is full of practical wisdom for the general reader and is warmly recommended.”
Big Questions in an Age of Global Crises
Apologetics
“This amazing book, written during the pandemic, tackles some of the biggest questions currently facing humankind in a pithy and engaging style that keeps the reader’s interest from beginning to end. The arguments are laced with a fascinating array of apposite quotes and stories. Warmly recommended.”
Science & Faith
“In this wonderfully creative and imaginative account, a proton tells the story of both science and faith from beginning to end. This new and refreshing perspective keeps the reader engaged from start to finish—the story of the universe in a style we encounter for the very first time. A gripping read and recommended for readers of any age.”
How I Changed My Mind About Evolution
Science & Faith
“Atheists often cite religious opposition to evolution as a reason for their unbelief. This wonderful collection of essays by Bible-believing Christians demonstrates how unnecessary it is to oppose evolution in the name of faith. What is striking about the authors in this volume is the sheer range and diversity of their own spiritual journeys in coming to terms with science. It is my prayer that evolution might cease to be seen as a threat to faith on the part of some Christians rather than as an integral aspect of God's created order for which the Christian can rightly give praise.”
New Explorations in the Lost World of Genesis
Science & Faith
“In this thought-provoking book, the author critically examines his understandings of the Genesis texts published over the past decades, greatly assisted by contributions from his son and coauthor. As a result, some perspectives are further nuanced, whereas in one case there is a radical re-interpretation. Whatever conclusions the reader comes to themselves, they will be challenged to grapple with the texts afresh in their ancient Near East contexts, a valuable exercise for anyone interested in Biblical hermeneutics.”
Old-Earth or Evolutionary Creation?
Science & Faith
“This book provides a model of civil discourse in which two groups with opposing views engage in well-informed dialogue. All those interested in the creation and evolution discussion will benefit from both the charity and the clarity that mark the various positions presented.”
Science & Faith
“In What the Heavens Declare, the author provides a scholarly survey of the biblical doctrine of creation, in dialogue with the key ideas that led to the emergence of modern science. The book provides a fine contribution to our understanding of the critical role played by the Christian concept of creation in shaping the history of Western thought. It is warmly recommended.”
