Christian scientists and theologians explain their views on evolution The debate surrounding creation and evolution divides Christians, particularly evangelicals. It has been a stumbling block for young believers and a point of attack for the new Atheists. Professor R. J. Berry assembles a wide range of distinguished contributors, all convinced, committed, and orthodox Christian believers, each of whom has undertaken a conceptual journey, based on sound science and careful theology, from a creationist position to one in which God’s creation and the processes of evolution are properly and credibly integrated. Christians and Evolution is a luminous volume that offers a pathway for doubters, skeptics, and conservative Christians to embrace the overall scientific consensus of the evolutionary approach, while holding solidly and without reservation to the doctrines of God’s creation and God’s omnipotence. This text is a must-read for anyone interested in the creation versus evolution debate. “As one who was raised a Quaker, and who therefore never felt any tension between science and religion, I found it deeply humbling to read the testimonies of these deeply committed Christians, raised more evangelical than I, who had to work so hard to reconcile their faith with their science. Truly do they show they are made in the image of their God as they use their talents to reason to what they now see as the truth.” (Michael Ruse, Florida State University 2014-12-01) "I found it profoundly inspiring to be guided through the seminal debate on God and evolution by these wonderful scholars and believers. This book will make you more capable and discerning in your discussions with others." (Joel C. Hunter, Senior Pastor, Northland--A Church Distributed 2014-12-01) “A most timely, much-needed book. I have seen too many confused young Christians wrestling with scientific facts. The varied experiences of the authors in this book will help many people to keep their faith and their scientific integrity.” (Ghillean Prance 2014-12-01) Scientists and theologians from a range of disciplines, all orthodox Christian believers, explain what changed their minds R.J.
