Flat Earths and Fake Footnotes

Science & Faith

“Flat Earths and Fake Footnotes offers a comprehensive and compelling demolition of the tired myth of an enduring conflict between science and religion. Peterson not only exposes the historical bankruptcy of this familiar story, but also shows how it became a foundational narrative for modern Western modernity and why it persists. Beautifully written and impeccably researched, this book deserves a wide readership.”

Priests of History

History & Biography

“In this original and engaging book, Sarah Irving-Stonebraker offers a compelling diagnosis of our present ‘Ahistoric Age,’ arguing persuasively that Christians must recapture a lost historical sensibility.”

Pursuing Scientific Humanism

Science & Faith

Foreword

“Theoretical physicist Werner Heisenberg will be well known to readers. . . . Until encountering this rich correspondence I knew virtually nothing about Cantore and am grateful to Claudio Tagliapietra for his labors in compiling, cataloguing, and translating this correspondence. In doing so he has performed a sterling service, introducing to us a relatively little-known figure whose ideas and aspirations are deserving of wider circulation. . . . This present publication of his correspondence with Heisenberg is another measure of his ongoing influence. Not only does it provide rewarding insights into the lives, struggles, and ideals of two remarkable individuals, it also reminds us of the enduring importance of Cantore’s mission.”

Recruiting the Ancients for the Creation Debate

Theology

“An engaging, well-researched, and comprehensive account of premodern interpretations of the Genesis creation narratives. Brown cautions against the simplistic appropriation of past authorities for present controversies, but his work also nicely demonstrates the ongoing relevance of the rich tradition of patristic, medieval, and early modern exegesis.”

Seven Brief Lessons on Magic

Science & Faith

“If you thought that magic had been banished by science, think again. In this entertaining and thought-provoking little book, Paul Tyson challenges us to re-think modern assumptions about the disenchantment of the world and the capacity of science to explain everything. Magic, Tyson argues, is everywhere—in our modern technologies, in the fictional worlds of Narnia, the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and, most importantly, in the love, beauty, and goodness that make life worth living. This is a critical, thoughtful, hopeful, and life-affirming book.”

The Fool and the Heretic

Science & Faith

“In an increasingly polarized world, the Christian community often seems as riven with fractious debates as society at large. This wonderful book offers a refreshingly different model of respectful dialogue and a vision of what really matters in these discussions. To those struggling with issues of creation and evolution, it is a godsend.”
