Summary

Many believers worry that science undermines the Christian faith. Instead of fearing scientific discovery, Jack Collins believes that Christians should delight in the natural world and study it. God's truth will stand against any challenge and will enrich the very scientific studies that we fear.Collins first defines faith and science, shows their relation, and explains what claims each has concerning truth. Then he applies the biblical teaching on creation to the topics of "conflict" between faith and science, including the age of the earth, evolution, and miracles. He considers what it means to live in a created world. This book is for anyone looking for a Christian engagement with science without technical jargon.Collins maps the entire interface between faithful biblical interpretation and questions of all sorts posed in the name of the sciences. Interesting, fair-minded, shrewd, and clear from start to finish, this will prove outstanding as a pastoral resource. J. I. Packer Professor of Theology, Regent CollegeThere is something here for just about everyone. Science and Faith is required reading for all who are interested in the relationship between science and the Christian faith. J. P. Moreland Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology, Biola UniversityThis is a highly significant book on possibly the most important subject confronting the church todaythe neutrality of science. A delightful style makes it easily accessible yet the author never neglects important issues. It is the best book of its kind for decades. Ranald Macaulay L'Abri FellowshipJack Collins is my kind of guya fellow MIT nerd. But he is much more: a brilliant scholar of biblical languages and a keen observer of the interaction between science and the Christian faith. This is a wonderful book, and I recommend it most strongly. Henry F. Schaefer III Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia
