Description: Four scholars engage in respectful dialogue about the relationship between science and religion. Using as their starting point the ongoing discussion regarding evolutionary theory and the biblical accounts of creation, these scholars present an integrated analysis demonstrating the intimate and not antagonistic relationship of their respective disciplines. Readers will encounter an exploration of the history and meaning of the biblical creation accounts, the nature of scientific investigation, the ethical and philosophical significance of the theory of evolution, and the need for a theology that embraces evolution.--From publisher's description.
