Christians often have a complicated relationship with
science-especially when it comes to evolution. In recent years
there has been an explosion in scientific understanding of
evolutionary theory and its implications for human nature. Yet many
Christians still see evolution as at best irrelevant to their faith
and at worst threatening to it. Is it possible that adopting an
evolutionary view of human origins can actually help us cultivate a
relationship with God and a holy life? In Embracing Evolution,
Matthew Nelson Hill invites readers into a constructive
conversation about why contemporary science matters for Christians.
Bringing clarity to an often fraught conversation, he provides an
accessible overview of evolutionary concepts and takes on common
concerns about tensions with Christian theology. He then explores
what insights and practical benefits await the Christian who adopts
an integrative approach to evolution and Christianity. The more we
are aware of the complex milieu of instincts, acquired traits, and
environmental influences humans find themselves in, the better
equipped we can be to overcome tempting urges and adopt life-giving
habits. From food cravings and addictions to altruistic impulses,
understanding our biological heritage gives us power to change for
the better. What's more, as scientific evidence affirms, the
transformation process cannot take place in isolation. Drawing on
the work of John Wesley, Hill considers the questions, What kind of
community will best encourage individuals to live godly lives, and
how do we practically form such communities? At some point, every
Christian will have to grapple with scientific evidence related to
evolution. Full of stories and real-life examples, this book will
help church leaders, small groups, students, and anyone curious
about science and faith discover how embracing evolution can assist
them toward a fulfilling, virtuous Christian life.
