This is considered the leading, all-in-one-place book of the field. I used it for the equivalent of a 4000-level undergrad class. Barbour calls if 'religion and science' but it's 99% 'Christianity and science'. (

Barbour--the premier scholar in the field--has added three crucial historical chapters on physics and metaphysics in the seventeenth century, nature and God in the eighteenth century, and biology and theology in the nineteenth century. He has also added new sections on developments in nature-centered spirituality, information theory, and chaos and complexity theories.
