and skillfully crafted theological interpretation of natural
science. He does this in a modest and pedagogically appealing
manner that will make his work accessible to students as well as
scholars. This compact, clearly written and well-organized volume
is the fruit of careful scholarly reflection and passionate
involvement in the major issues in natural science and theology
today."--John F. Haught, author of God After Darwin
