Named a 2007 Book of Distinction by the Sir John Templeton
Foundation. The special edition of this award winning book
celebrates the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin. Since, even
before, the publication of Darwin's seminal work on evolution,
science and religion have often been at odds. Even today culture
wars continue to rage. How can I be faithful to God and fully enjoy
the progress of science? Who is Charles Darwin and what did he
actually say? Can you believe in God and evolution? Does teaching
evolution corrupt our social values? How can you connect science
and faith? Can science be a Christian vocation? So how can we
interpret the creation story in the Bible?
Authors Ted Peters and Martinez Hewlett give a balanced
discussion of the impact of evolution to help church leaders
understand the values at stake. They make the convincing case that
Christians can connect their faith in God with a scientific
understanding of evolution with integrity.
Today's seminary students often come to their graduate work with
little or no knowledge of science or theology; yet they most
certainly have opinions about evolution, as will their future
congregants. How can such students plunge into the whirlpool of
controversy that surrounds the heated debates between science and
theology? How can they negotiate the often ideological waters of
Darwinism, NeoDarwinism, Social Darwinism, Sociobiology, Young
Earth Creationism, Intelligent Design, and Theistic Evolution? Here
the authors answer these questions, offer a bridge for
understanding the inner coherence and passion of each stream of
thought, and lead to a constructive proposal: evolution in natural
history is part of God's method for carrying the creation from its
origin to its consummation in the eschatological new creation.
It is an astonishing discovery: a bloodstained burial shroud
entombed in the crumbling walls of a historic French Monastery.
Carbon dating concludes the fabric is from the time of Christ. A
molecular biologist conducts a daring experiment: the cloning of
genetic material recovered from the cloth. Now two men—Father
Laurent Carriere and scientist Josh Francis—are plunged into the
center of a worldwide religious and political power struggle. But
even as Washington and the Vatican vie for control of the relic,
members of a secret society take steps to reclaim the holy artifact
they have sworn to protect—by any means necessary. Â
Selected by the Literary Guild® and the Doubleday Book Club®.
