Abstract
The book emerged from a conference on process theology, evolution, and religion. Editor John Cobb Jr. is an expert on Whiteheadian process theology. He has drawn together like-minded contributors who regard this world as reflecting an intelligent purpose. They accept the theory of evolution and humanity's shared, common ancestry with other species, but some contributors questioned the exclusion of subjectivity from science. There are four major sections in the book with an introductory preface to each by the editor. In Section II, Cobb evaluates the alternatives to Darwinism.
