Can science and faith truly sit side by side? This book argues they can, through thoughtful dialogue between natural science and Christian belief.
Two lectures delivered to Yale’s theological school explore how evolution, revelation, and creed can coexist without conflict.
Asa Gray, a leading voice in 19th‑century science, examines how modern biology relates to core Christian ideas. He discusses the role of miracles, the interpretation of the Apostles’ and Nicene creeds, and how faith can adapt to new scientific understandings without losing its essential message. The work speaks to ministers and lay readers alike, inviting careful thinking and open discussion.
