Description
Book SynopsisRe-Vision addresses four issues that lie at the crux of the relationship between science and religionâthe origin of the cosmos and creation in Genesis; evolutionary theory and Godâs action in the world; genes and human freedom; and whether intelligent design is good science and/or good theology.
Trade ReviewIt is impossible to read this beautifully written and insightful book and not come away believing that science and religion can indeed benefit from a closer relationship with each other, and that the way to achieve that goal is through respectful conversation. -- James R. Curry, professor emeritus of biology, Franklin College
Cain shows himself more than able in this clear exposition of the creative potential in the conversation between science and religion. This volume of collaboration among three scientists, a philosopher, and a theologian will enlighten readers of all ages and abilities in seeking to understand the gifts of both ways of knowing this world in which we live and move and have our being. -- Katharine Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church
In this compilation, Clifford Chalmers Cain argues for conversation and even partnership as a model for the interaction between science and religion. . . . These chapters describe the best and latest that science has to offer in understanding our world. -- Nick Steph, professor emeritus of physics, Franklin College
