For Christians, the issues raised by the different views on creation and evolution are challenging. Can a "young earth" be reconciled with a universe that appears to be billions of years old? Does scientific evidence point to a God who designed the universe and life in all its complexity? Three Views on Creation and Evolution deals with these and similar concerns as it looks at three dominant schools of Christian thought. Proponents of young earth creationism, old earth creationism, and theistic evolution each present their different views, tell why the controversy is important, and describe the interplay between their understandings of science and theology. Each view is critiqued by various scholars, and the entire discussion is summarized by Phillip E. Johnson and Richard H. Bube. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Bible and Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series.

Readers appreciate the expanding Counterpoints series because it allows leading voices on a controversial subject to present their different views in a civil and interactive format. This time, the focus is on the creation-evolution controversy--a topic hotly contested within the church as well as without. The book presents the three main evangelical views: young earth creationism, old earth creationism, and theistic evolution. The contributors are all authorities on their respective views. Each essay is followed by responses from a theologian, a biblical studies scholar, a philosopher, and a scientist; and the entire discussion is summarized by Philip Johnson and Richard Bube.
