Darwin in a New Key

Science & Faith

“Giving impressive evidence that evolution on Darwin's account includes the aim at value, this book issues an incisive challenge to any who claim him for an exclusively mechanistic or physicalist account of life's species. Both clear and concise throughout, Meyer also deftly outlines a theistic metaphysics likely unknown to Darwin and in which a teleology of value is consistent with causation by the past.”

The Understanding of Christian Faith

Theology

“All who seek clarity about what Christian faith means and why it is worthy of belief will discover here a cherished companion. Accessibly written and theologically complete, this book excels as an introduction to systematic theology and requires no knowledge of Ogden's distinguished previous work, even while readers familiar with his achievement will find their appreciation of his critical insight extended. Ogden is unsurpassed as a Christian theologian for our time, and this book can be read again and again, always with deeper reward.”
