Creator God, Evolving World
"This scientifically informed work makes a major contribution to contemporary theological understanding of evolution. Relying especially on important ideas of Bernard Lonergan, it skillfully debunks both atheistic and religious distortions of Darwin's science." --John F. Haught, Georgetown University"In this lively and clearly written book, the authors present a clear case for the compatibility of cosmological and evolutionary science and classic belief in God as Creator. Crysdale and Ormerod achieve the complex task of building up insights from physics, biology, metaphysics, theology and ethics in a way that makes it much more manageable for the general reader. Above all this is a book that helps challenge stereotypes set up in the clash between science and Christian religion and allows for a more nuanced classically informed theology to emerge." --Celia Deane-Drummond, University of Notre Dame"In this lively and clearly written book, the authors present a clear case for the compatibility of cosmological and evolutionary science and classic belief in God as Creator.
