God and Evolution - A Reader (Hardcover, New)

How to reconcile belief in God and Darwinism? What is the nature of divine action in an evolutionary world? These questions are central to studies of science and religion, and the topic has recently been thrown into high relief by the current resurgence and spread of Creationism and Intelligent Design theories. Intended for those with little previous knowledge of the debate, this Reader explores the compatibility of evolutionary theory and divine action, bringing together the key writings and setting them in context. It covers methodology in the study of science and religion, the fundamental principles of evolutionary biology, and areas of conflict and ways of finding common ground between God and Evolution. It aims to offer a broad spread of opinion, with extensive selections from the theistic critics of Darwinism, including scientific creationists and intelligent design theorists, as well as critics of theism coming from the perspective of scientific materialism. Neglected but important voices such as feminist scholars are featured, along with many of the best known writers in the field.Editorial introductions frame the selections and explain their significance to the debate, making this the ideal resource for students coming to the subject for the first time and for everyone wishing to understand more about this bitterly contested debate.
