A fresh and up-to-date introduction to science and theology - an ideal, new undergraduate-level textbook.
This book surveys the key developments in the natural sciences over the past 450 years and discusses all the main associated theological questions. It provides an outline of the present science and theology discourse and suggests how a scientific description of the world may be placed within a broad Christian context.
Modern science has developed in three broad phases: the Scientific Revolution; the rise of geology and Darwin's theory of evolution; and the natural sciences of the 20th century. The first two phases are described through the work of leading scientific figures, from Copernicus to Newton and from Linnaeus to Darwin.
The scene is thus set for a review of the lively science-theology discourse of the past half-century.
