Description
An overview of the 'two books' of God - nature and Scripture - showing that they give complementary descriptions of one single reality. It grapples with key contemporary issues like the nature of consciousness and care of the environment. The book argues strongly against the idea of 'a God of the gaps' and against a conflict view of science and Christian belief. It demonstrates the essential role of faith in shaping and nurturing the enterprise of science. The book provides an essential show more perspective for a society dominated by science and its consequences. Key features: o Brings together Christian thought and the natural scientific disciplines. o There is no other overall treatment at a scholarly level o Includes a discussion of the important debates and interpretations in the last 25 years. show lessTags
