Humbling Faith

Philosophy

“This is a humbling book about the frailty of human nature and the limitations of our reasonings. It is at the same time a deeply inspiring book because it so well shows that humans have an essential spirit of hope and inquiry. It inspires confidence that true humility is the only way to true and worthwhile understanding, and proper living together here on our shared planet home.”

Is Reality Secular?

Apologetics

“Mary Poplin and I take very different sides on the topics discussed in her book. That is why I prize her writings, because they are so fair and comprehensive. She shows me clearly what I must grapple with and defeat—or give up and join her side! Very much recommended.”

Macroevolution, Contingency, and Divine Activity

Science & Faith

“Macroevolution, Contingency, and Divine Activity, by Bradford McCall, is one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time. Dealing with important issues about God’s involvement in the world, McCall shows an impressive ability to draw on biology, philosophy, history, and theology as partners in the quest for understanding. This is an important book for both seasoned scholars and beginning students. Highly recommended.”

On the Origin of Consciousness

Science & Faith

“Sometimes you read a book where you disagree with just about everything the author claims—starting with the dedication! And yet . . . You learn and you rethink. I feel exactly that way about Scott Ventureyra’s On the Origin of Consciousness. I intend that as high praise.”
