For some of us, the shortening daylight hours and colder weather means more time to curl up with a good book in the evenings. For those looking for new books to read during the fall and winter months, BioLogos offers a selection of excellent books about the harmony of science and faith on our Web site BioLogos.org. Here’s a sampling of the 37 titles that make up our “Recommended Books” section:
I Love Jesus & I Accept Evolution
by Denis O Lamoureux
“In this thought-provoking book, born-again Christian Denis O.
Lamoureux argues that the God of the Bible created the universe and
life through evolution–an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting
natural process. In other words, evolution is not the result of blind
chance and our creation is not a mistake. Lamoureux challenges the
popular assumption that God disclosed scientific facts in the opening
chapters of Scripture thousands of years before their discovery by
modern science.” – Wipf and Stock Publishers
by John Polkinghorne and Nicholas Beale
“For many years, people from across the world have sent thescientist-turned-priest John Polkinghorne questions about science and
belief. In question-and-answer format, Polkinghorne and his
collaborator Nicholas Beale offer their informed opinions about some of
the most asked questions. Readers can follow their own paths through
the book, selecting questions that interest them and looking at the
additional material if they choose. The unique book will help
Christians clarify their beliefs and better face challenges to their
faith.” – Amazon
religion…This book features the contributions of a team of 25
scholars that includes agnostics, atheists, and Christians. Their
collective objective is to dispel the “hoary myths” of the supposedly
bellicose relationship between religion and science. Readers will be
fascinated by the evidence that for advocating Copernicanism, Galileo
was not imprisoned (as commonly thought) but interrogated–albeit under
the threat of torture–and set up in an apartment.” – C. Brian Smith, Library Journal
