Hi, Folks ~

A new book’s been published on the relationship of Christian faith to evolutionary science:

Ted Peters & Martinez Hewlett, Can You Believe In God & Evolution: A Guide for the Perplexed (Abingdon Press, 2006)

Ted Peters is a Lutheran theologian and pastor; Hewlett is a molecular biologist, a professor at the University of Arizona, and a Catholic.

See the book here:
abingdonpress.com/search.aspx?scope=title&query=Can%20You%20Believe%20In%20God%20and%20Evolution?&pid=0687335515

And there’s a free study guide here:
cokesbury.com/teachablebooks/Pdf/TeachableBooks/Can%20You%20Believe.pdf

This looks like a great primer on the subject. Happy reading!

I was going to suggest “Language of God”! A very good book.

I was half-expecting this might be something by Fr. Stanley Jaki O.S.B.​

 
I picked the book up at a local religious book store. It’s short (about 100 pages), easy to read (though not watered down), and a study guide is available on the net. It seemed to me a good text to use in a parish seminar or group study situation. At around $12, it’s also affordable.

I plan to get the book, but merely because it is one more representative example of what is commonly termed “folk science.” I collect such books (along with actual science texts) in order to have access to the latest “thinking” among folk scientists. However, these types of publications generally have little to do with genuine science.

Truly,
