Balancing science and faith with clarity and care.
This classic work offers a thoughtful path to harmonize scientific knowledge with Christian belief, arguing that truth cannot contradict truth. It looks at how modern science and Biblical creation can inform one another without sacrificing core Christian commitments.
The author reflects on the long history of the debate between science and religion, showing where tensions arise and how they can be resolved. Through careful discussion of causality and teleology, the Bible’s creation narratives, and the question of divine providence, the book makes a case for an integrated outlook that respects both rigorous science and faithful belief. It also considers the meaning of Jesus Christ for faith and life in a world shaped by discoveries in biology and cosmology.
