Reviews

'A unique book, at once serious and entertaining...a highly stimulating 'must read' for all of us involved in science/religion discussion, but also for those of us who can only find spare time for seeing how the project of science is part of a wider quest.' -Niels Henrik Grefersen 'Will have a significant cultural impact...unique among science and religion projects in its recruitment of top scientists and in the emphasis on answering the question of how much faith has had an impact on their own scientific work.'-Nancey Murphy, Professor of Christian Philosophy, Fuller Theological Seminary 'I think it is excellent. Indeed, hard to fault.'-Graham Howes, Trinity Hall, Cambridge
