基本説明
Intented for those with little knowledge of the debate, this Reader explores the compatibility of evolutionary theory and divine action, bringing together the key writings and setting them in context. Neglected but important voices such as feminist scholars are featured, along with many of the best known writers in field.
Full Description
How can we reconcile belief in God and Darwinism, divine action and an evolutionary world? The first book of its kind, this Reader represents the diversity of views which surround the interaction of evolutionary theory and the Christian tradition.
Ideal for students with no previous knowledge of the field, the book introduces the methodologies of the study of science and religion, and evolutionary biology, and presents the views of influential thinkers from a variety of disciplines, including:
the natural sciences
history
theology
philosophy.
From current scientific developments to contemporary philosophical perspectives, Darwin to Dawkins, Creationism to Intelligent Design, God and Evolution highlights neglected but important views, such as those of feminist scholars, and contemporary revisionists, as well as some of the best known writers in the field.
