Science & Faith
“This book is unlike any you have ever read. Whether you believe there is evidence for extraterrestrial intelligence or not, Hart's creative and thoughtful reflections . . . will widen your ethical horizons.”
Science & Faith
“This scientifically informed work makes a major contribution to contemporary theological understanding of evolution. Relying especially on important ideas of Bernard Lonergan, it skillfully debunks both atheistic and religious distortions of Darwin's science.”
Science & Faith
“Abril's book offers readable introductions to some well-known Christian theological interpreters of biological evolution. Teachers and students will find the author's succinct summaries of their contributions very thought-provoking.”
From Eden to Interstellar Space
Science & Faith
“This wonderful book provides a new map for thoughtful people looking for a way to understand the meaning of religion in the age of science. It discovers in the work of the atheist philosopher Thomas Nagel an adventurous pathway toward a fresh and profound way of reading the Bible and other ancient religious texts. This sophisticated but readable work shows how sincere searchers can fully embrace science while also venturing far beyond what science can teach us.”
Interactive World, Interactive God
Science & Faith
“The learned essays in this valuable collection reflect the adventurous transition going on in contemporary thought—including the sciences, philosophy and theology—from traditional substantialism and modern individualism to a relational, interactive understanding of the universe, life, and human existence. Readers in many disciplines will find the chapters in this book both instructive and challenging.”
Theology
“Fifty years ago, Cobb realized that neither classical Christian theology nor modern secular culture and its philosophers provided an adequate foundation for enthusiastic ecological responsibility. The new preface and updated bibliography make this edition a valuable resource for students, teachers, and anyone else interested in the liberation of life.”
Philosophy
“This compact study makes a significant contribution to the question of whether, in an age of science, reasonable people need to resign themselves to a naturalistic understanding of the world. Is the intellectually respected assumption that ‘nature is all there is' intellectually coherent? In this ‘intervention' Goetz and Taliaferro provide a readable, critical response to this important question.”
Theology
“If our thoughts about the divine cannot remain the same after Darwin or Einstein, neither can they fail to be framed anew after Claude Shannon and others who have taught us the new sciences of information and communication. James Huchingson ingeniously demonstrates how insights of the great theologians, mystics, and religious thinkers . . . can be given fresh expression in the concepts associated with information. This excellent, clearly written, well-organized theological metaphysics is rich enough to provoke considerable fruitful discussion among theologians and others, especially those involved in contemporary conversations in science and religion.”
Apologetics
““This well-researched and carefully organized study makes a significant contribution to Christian theological reflection on the meaning of evolution. Its calm conversation with Richard Dawkins' atheist reading of Darwin is a model of mature theological scholarship."”
Science & Faith
“This nice collection makes available Michael Ruse’s always fresh and unique thoughts about science and faith and especially about the theological implications of the Darwinian revolution. The material gathered here is grounded in years of scholarly research, but Ruse presents it in a readable format that will appeal not only to students and professors but also to anyone else in the age of science concerned about the meaning and future of religious faith.”
Science & Faith
“In this candid survey and synthesis, Richard Coleman states clearly what he considers to be both right and wrong in contemporary attempts to integrate science with the world of faith and theology. This well-informed book deserves careful reading and commentary.”
Theology
“Can we reconcile a biblical understanding of divine love and creativity with the universe of human experience and scientific understanding? Not a new question, of course, but one that requires fresh faith and intellectual subtlety. Tom Oord's new book offers both. And it is written with a clarity and passion that should appeal to a wide range readers.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Edith Rasell’s new book offers a hopeful vision of what the world might look like if we took seriously the prophetic call to economic and social justice. The author has set forth the relevance of ancient biblical ideals to contemporary life on Earth with exceptional intellectual force, practical wisdom, and moral clarity. This important work deserves a widespread and attentive reading.”
To Unite the Scattered Children of God
Theology
“This book is an original and highly readable synthesis of biblical theology with a scientifically informed sense of a still-awakening universe. Highly recommended.”
