About this title

Review:

"For far too long the science-religion debate has been dominated--even clouded--by questions of biological evolution thrown up in the nineteenth century, while the transformation of the physical world in the twentieth has often, seemed strangely irrelevant. This book epitomizes a welcome trend to redress the balance. . . . ÝIt¨ is to be warmly recommended to all who seek to enrich the dialogue between science and theology." -- C. A. Russell
