Context:
nuanced arguments in this book. The authors did not write The Language of
Science and Faith for an academic conference. The dearth of sophisticated
arguments doesn’t mean the book is erroneous. But it does mean those
wanting to go deeper to answer questions such as those I’ve listed above
should consult a more extensive science-and-religion bibliography. This book plays a very important role. It is perfect for cross-disciplinary conversations, univer-sity seminars on science and faith, and Sunday school discussions. It promotes a particular perspective –often called ‘‘theistic evolution’’ but herein labeled ‘‘biologos’’ –that I per-sonally find most plausible overall.
Although the book may not convince those strongly predisposed to atheism
or young earth creationism, it can help people open to serious dis-cussion
about contemporary science and Christian faith. This book should convince
those sitting on or near the fence on questions of evolution and Christian
belief. In this context, I heartily recommend The Language of Science and
Faith.
