Thank God for Evolution! 
How the
Marriage of Science and Religion Will Transform Your Life
and Our World
by Michael Dowd / Hardcover / November 2007
Thank God for Evolution! presents in a lively and accessible manner the reasons why it is now possible to view evolution as a divine process. As a Christian minister, Dowd especially addresses the concerns that Christians have about evolution, but this book contains insights that will appeal to people of all faiths and of no faith. Fun and uplifting, Thank God for Evolution! goes beyond the current debate to offer up a whole new way of thinking about science, religion, and the meaning and purpose of our lives.
The
God of Hope and the End of the Worldby John C. Polkinghorne / Hardcover / 2002 *
"This well-informed and clearly
written book places the reader before the ultimate choice:
the futility of cosmic decay or the final fulfillment of
God's creation. Polkinghorne offers compelling arguments for
the belief that divine love is the ground of a true and
everlasting hope. I highly recommend the book to skeptic and
believer alike."-- Miroslav
Volf, Yale University
Faith, Science, and
Understanding
by John C. Polkinghorne / Hardcover / Oct 2000*
In this captivating book, one of
the most highly-regarded scientist- theologians of our time
offers a thought-provoking exploration of the interaction
between science and theology. John Polkinghorne defends the
place of theology in the university, discusses the role of
revelation in religion, and focuses closely on reconciling
what science can say about the processes of the universe
with theology's belief in a God active within creation.

and Ecology : Seeking the Well-Being of Earth and Humans
(Religions of the World and Ecology, 3)
by Dieter T. Hessel (Editor), Rosemary Radford Ruether
(Editor) Paperback / 700 pp / Mar 2000
"This collection is by far the
richest, most diverse, theologically sophisticated,
ecologically informed, and innovative body of writings on
Christianity that I have yet come across...It should be read
not only by all theologians, but also by students and any
others interested in the relevance of Christian faith to the

Belief in God in an Age of
Science
John C. Polkinghorne / Paperback / Oct 1999 *
Atheists must exercise new caution
when invoking modern science to advance their views. An
Anglican priest and a theoretical physicist, Polkinghorne
articulates a faith strengthened, not threatened, by the
latest scientific research. Whether puzzling over the
curious fit between the laws of physics and the requirements
for life or tracing the similarities between the methods of
the scientist and those of the theologian, Polkinghorne
reasons with rare sophistication. -- Booklist

God
After Darwin:
A Theology of Evolution
by John F. Haught / Hardcover / Nov 1999 *
"A lucid, learned, and liberating
book with a new insight on almost every page. A pleasure to
read, God After Darwin subtly rearranges the religious
furniture in your head. Haught's thought-provoking
proposals, especially his view of God as the dynamic, loving
power of the future with a vision rather than a plan for
this evolving universe, deserves wide readership and
discussion." -- Elizabeth A.
Johnson, Fordham University
Finding
Darwin's God:
A Scientist's Search for Common
Ground Between God and Evolution
by Kenneth R. Miller / Hardcover / Sep 1999 *
"Religion's answer to Stephen Jay
Gould's scientific atheism, Kenneth R. Miller, Brown's
superstar in biology and religion, here shows not only why
Darwinian evolution does not preclude the existence of God,
but how remarkably consistent evolution is with religion.'
Written with sharp wit and in pungent prose, his book
redefined the entire debate by showing the true meaning of
the science represented by the name of Darwin."
-- Jacob Neusner,
Distinguished Research Professor of Religions Studies,
University of South Florida & Bard
College
When
Science Meets Religion
by Ian G. Barbour / Paperback /
May 2000 *
Barbour's latest book demonstrates
both the depth of his expertise and his ability to present
complex ideas in digestible formats (no doubt honed during
years of teaching undergraduates at Carleton College). "When
Science Meets Religion" is short and to the point, making it
perfect introductory material for general readers or
students. -- Beliefnet, June
2000
How We
Believe:
The Search
for God in an Age of Science
by Michael Shermer / Hardcover / Oct 1999*
Why do so many
believe in the existence of something so inexplicable?
That's exactly what Shermer answers in this comprehensive,
intelligent, and highly readable discussion about the nature
of faith.

Reconstructing
Nature:
The Engagement
of Science and Religion (Glasgow Gifford Lectures)
by John Hedley Brooke, Geoffrey Cantor / Paperback / May 2000
"Various things can
prompt people to cheer out loud: the scoring of a goal, a
fine soprano aria. If, like me, you can be moved to such a
response by a good book, then have planty of throat
medication to hand for this one. You'll need it. The authors
... present a series of essays (originally Gifford lectures)
illustrating a wide range of approaches to the historical
study of the interactions of science and religion.... The
copious references make this book an excellent resource as
well as a good read. -- Review by Michael Fuller in Church
Times, 1 January 1999
Rocks of Ages:
Science and Religion in the Fullness of Life
by Stephen Jay Gould / Hardcover / Mar 1999 *
Gould once again renders the complex simple, mending the seeming split between the two "Rocks of Ages," science and religion.
