Science & Faith
“Janet Ray’s Baby Dinosaurs on the Ark? is a deeply personal, scientifically informed, and valuable contribution to our troubled conversation on evolution. Readers will appreciate the engaging and often humorous anecdotes. The book deserves a broad readership.”
Science & Faith
“Professor Falk's Coming to Peace with Science is the most informed, thoughtful and spiritually sensitive look at 'creation through the eyes of a biologist' that I have ever read. Falk knows firsthand just how hard it can be for an evangelical raised on the Bible to make peace with the theory of evolution. As a respected biologist who takes the Bible very seriously he knows, however, that this peace must be found. Coming to Peace with Science will be an effective bridge between science and religion for years to come.”
Science & Faith
“Death Before the Fall is a frank, honest and wide-ranging critique of young-earth creationism, intelligent design and other science-denying movements. Sure-footed, informed and avoiding 'tidy answers,' it shines a sober spotlight on the intellectual crises within evangelicalism--crises responsible for the enduring popularity of viewpoints dismantled by science more than a century ago. Drawing on a broad range of sources, Death Before the Fall looks to the sacrificial and self-emptying death of Christ, rather than simplistic interpretations of the fall, to understand our troubled natural history, with its unimaginable reservoirs of suffering and death.”
Divine Grace and Emerging Creation
Science & Faith
“"Divine Grace and Emerging Creation provides a fresh, provocative, and stimulating perspective on the complex interactions of science and theology. Using John Wesley as the focus, this collection of essays from leading scholars ranges broadly over history, philosophy of science, and theology. Wesley comes to life as a fascinating transitional figure, astride the divide that separates contemporary science from its antecedents. Highly recommended.”
Science & Faith
“Evolution and Eschatology offers an informed and helpful discussion of the complicated issues arising at the interface of traditional Christian theology and contemporary evolutionary theory. Finlay’s ambitious work draws on the best thinking of scholars who have wrestled with the ‘big questions’ of our origins and found ways to embrace both creation and evolution. Readers will find much of value in this well-written and thoughtful book.”
Science & Faith
“At a time when scientific creationists and intelligent design theorists remain mired in nineteenth-century disputes about evolution, Matthew Nelson Hill's Evolution and Holiness moves the conversation about Darwin's controversial theory into the twenty-first century. Lamenting that 'not many theologians have examined the evolutionary data for relevance to "loving thy neighbor,"' Hill develops powerful and deeply meaningful connections between John Wesley's doctrine of Christian holiness and scientifically informed understandings of our evolved human nature. The result is a tour de force of creative theological exploration that deserves to be widely read.”
Theology
“Knowing Creation is a rich collection of theologically informed essays. The authors engage an impressive array of conversations partners from Job and Moses, to Plato and Aristotle, from Luther and Calvin, to Derrida and Dawkins. This is a valuable contribution to the science and religion dialogue.”
Science & Faith
“Mapping the Origins Debate offers readers a helpful map of the confusing and noisy terrain of America's troubled conversation about origins. Readers will appreciate Gerald Rau's calm and reasoned guide to the debate; he provides light in an area where most books offer only heat.”
Science & Faith
“Persistent conflict between science and religion dominates the popular imagination, despite scholarly work to the contrary. Joseph Vukov’s helpful work reveals the richly complex ways in which science and religion interact. Filled with helpful anecdotes and an insistence that ‘the confident Christian is not intellectually arrogant,’ Navigating Faith and Science is a valuable guide to one of the most important conversations of our time.”
Science & Faith
“In the decades leading up to the creation-evolution sideshow of the Scopes Trial, a far more sophisticated and important conversation about Darwin's theory occurred at Princeton University. Conservative, inerrantist, and solidly orthodox Princeton theologians responded thoughtfully and often constructively to evolution. Bradley Gundlach's Process and Providence brings this important conversation to life in a sure-footed, well-researched, and engaging narrative. I highly recommend this book for its important contribution to understanding the American response to Darwin.”
Science & Faith
“Rejecting simple models, Coleman calls for Christian theology to be a 'holy irritant,' to 'redescribe' a world only 'partially explained by science.' This is a valuable contribution to the state of affairs it describes so well.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“The Evolution of Adam provides a sure-footed and engaging look at what the Bible says—and does not say—about the first man. Enns, one of America’s most important Old Testament scholars, provides a masterful and accessible survey of the relevant biblical scholarship from the past couple centuries. Enns combines a deep appreciation of the Christian tradition with a courageous willingness to go where most evangelicals fear to tread. I highly recommend this book.”
The Heresy of Ham, Revised Edition
Science & Faith
Foreword
“Contemporary evangelicalism is known for its rejection of science, its embrace of a novel and peculiar biblical literalism, and its conviction that issues like evolution, the Big Bang, and the age of the earth are hills to die on. Joel Anderson exposes the tragic heresy that has gripped misguided leaders like Ken Ham, as he creates discord within the Church by insist-ing that it remain mired in nineteenth century debates.”
