Fully illustrated and accessibly written, this is an up to date and authoritative survey of the entire history of the relationship between science and Christianity. A thorough introduction to the nature of scientific and theological enquiry is followed by an examination of each major scientific discipline and its engagement with Christianity. Berry covers famous events (Galileo's trial, Darwinian controversy, Creationism) and less well-known debates. Recent scientific developments are explored including cloning, the human genome, GM crops, nuclear power, artificial intelligence, and gravity as an explanation for the origins of the Universe. The Intelligent Design movement and theories on how the world may end is also given consideration.

The debate surrounding creation and evolution divides Christians, particularly evangelicals. It has been a stumbling block for young Christians and a point of contention for the new Atheists. Professor R. J. Berry assembles a wide range of distinguished contributors, all convinced, committed and orthodox Christian believers, each of whom has undertaken a conceptual journey, based on sound science and careful theology, from a creationist position to one in which God's creation and the processes of evolution are properly and credibly integrated. Christians and Evolution is a luminous volume that offers a pathway for doubters, sceptics and conservative Christians to embrace the overall scientific consensus of the evolutionary approach, while holding solidly and without reservation to the doctrines of God's creation and God's omnipotence. This text is a must-read for anyone interested in the creation v evolution debate.

True Scientists, True Faith: Leading scientist reveal the harmony between their science and heir faith. Some atheistic campaigners continue to stress that science and faith are incompatible. This is simply untrue, as the distinguished contributors to this volume demonstrate. Scientists from a variety of different disciplines have provided their own accounts of how their science and their personal faith intersect .They come from a range of Christian backgrounds, but all are orthodox believers. Contributors include: - Joan Centrella, NASA Francis Collins, Human Genome Project Bob White, - Professor of Geophysics, University of Cambridge Alister McGrath - Professor of Theology, King's College London, - molecular biologist Wilson Poon - Professor of Physics, University of Edinburgh This new edition also includes five contributions from distinguished younger scientists.

This book offers a Christian approach to living now in the expectation that tomorrow will come - a Christian framework for sustainable development, written by some of the world's experts on the subject. It is a guidebook for living in such a way that we will be better able to give a positive account for our treatment of the talents entrusted to us, when we face the divine Judge of all the earth.
