Summary

An introduction to the relationship between Christianity and science. Holds the view that evolutionary theory and Christian theology are compatible and non-contradictory. Tackles such contemporary issues as the rise of 'anti-science', widespread community misunderstandings of science, the moral dimensions of the ecological crisis the world is now facing, and the need to explore the relationship between science and Christianity in a non-creationist way.
