What about Evolution?: A Biologist, Pastor, and Theologian Answer Your Questions

by April Maskiewicz Cordero, Douglas Estes, Telford Work

It can be a shock in our culture for a Christian to encounter evolutionary biology and conversely for a Darwinian to encounter biblical Christianity. Can a devout Christian with a high view of scripture accept scientific views of evolution? Some proponents of biblical Christianity or Darwinian evolution are quick to claim their incompatibility. However, as strong believers in both Christ and the sciences, we find more harmony than friction between them. If you or someone you care about sees a tension between evolution and Christian faith, we want to help you understand their interaction. This book, written by a biologist, a pastor/biblical scholar, and a theologian, addresses questions from the gifts of each of their disciplines. We acknowledge the insights and authority of the Bible, explain the science of evolution, explore their mutual relevance, and argue that holding the two together deepens our understanding of the world and its creator.

[Jared · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent book that explores issues of faith and evolution head on. With three authors with very different backgrounds answering direct questions, they bring freshness and openness that is too often left to sound bytes and pundits. Some of their answers are direct and short, others are more expansive and they develop their ideas in greater depth. Anyone interested in understanding how faith and evolution can be reconciled should read this book. It addresses both scientific and religious questions in great detail.
