Books of Distinction

The best science and our best thinking about God belong together. But how can this be with the current culture wars over teaching evolution? And how can pastors and church leaders equip congregations so they have a confident faith when talking about evolution? Who is Charles Darwin and what did he actually say? Can you believe in God and evolution? Does teaching evolution corrupt our values? How can you connect science and faith? Can science be a Christian vocation? So how can we interpret the creation story in the Bible? This book gives a balanced exposition of the impact of Darwin's theory of evolution. It equips pastors and congregational leaders with a clear understanding of who the players are in the evolution debate. The author makes the case that Christians can connect their faith in God with a scientific understanding of evolution with integrity.
