This reader brings together carefully selected material from a wide range of authors on the relationships between science, religion, and theology. It samples the recent literature on the challenges to religion posed by both modern physics and evolutionary biology, as well as exploring the relationship between scientific and theological approaches. Topics include models of interaction between science and religion, historical reflections on the 'conflict thesis', scientific and theological methods, creation and modern cosmology, uncertainty and chaos, creationism and evolutionary theory, the anthropic principle and design, and the challenge of reductionism.
"this is a valuable introduction...in the arguments it addresses and the calibre of the authors selected for the readings" Science and Christian Belief, Vol 21 No 1 -- Andrew Fox
'Astley, Brown and Loades have much experience of teaching in a variety of contexts, and realise that students need to have their appetite gently encouraged to move them on to read more widely and substantially....the diversity in theological approaches in good' * ANVIL *
