| A Balanced View of Science and Faith | Webster, CL. 1998.
Origins-GRI 25(2):99-101. CELD ID 2843Abstract This book is a revised and updated version of an earlier volume written by Jeeves in 1969 (The Scientific Enterprise and Christian Faith) following a small conference of 36 scientists in Oxford, England. Both authors are recognized working scientists and do not claim to be philosophers, historians of science, or theologians. It is their desire to address the contemporary issues at the science-and-faith interface in a manner that is aimed at both the scientifically and nonscientifically trained reader. Another important feature of this book is that the authors are also writing for students, and it is therefore well-referenced to source materials and includes numerous quotations. The book is divided into thirteen chapters which take the reader through the early history of the conflict between religion and science, and ends with the implications of modern science on the Christian thought-and-belief system.
