ReviewsIf there could be one book in the arsenal for the college-bound faithful, the apologist, or the ponderer of the complex questions of science and faith, this is the text., Anyone who has understood the immense difficulties that reductionism creates in science must be impressed with the care with which the author outlines and dissects the arguments. You don't have to be a theist to benefit from the book. Come to it with an open mind, and enjoy its challenges., In this accessible and engaging introduction, [John Lennox] guides us through the great debates about science and faith, and offers incisive assessments of the issues., The scholarship is fine-grained, integrating dozens of fields. Best of all is the tour de force of new developments in evolutionary biology that have largely gone unreported, backed by a rich historical context running back to the ancient Greeks., In a century when all the fields of science and technology converge in biology, the effort to confront the deeper meaning of life from a historical and philosophical perspective is more relevant than ever before. This book is a timely and excellent contribution to the conversation., Engagingly written [...] Lennox gives a totally unique view of the physical and logical universe from his perspective as a mathematician and a Christian.

Synopsis"In this accessible and engaging introduction, [John Lennox] guides us through the great debates about science and faith, and offers incisive assessments of the issues." Alister McGrath, Professor of Science and Religion, University of Oxford Is the rigorous pursuit of scientific knowledge really compatible with a sincere faith in God? Building on the arguments put forward in God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God?, Prof John Lennox examines afresh the plausibility of a Christian theistic worldview in the light of some of the latest developments in scientific understanding. Prof Lennox focuses on the areas of evolutionary theory, the origins of life and the universe, and the concepts of mind and consciousness to provide a detailed and compelling introduction to the science and religion debate. He also offers his own reasoning as to why he continues to be convinced by a Christian approach to explaining these phenomena. Robust in its reasoning, but respectful in tone, this book is vital reading for anyone exploring the relationship between science and God., Professor John C. Lennox defends the legitimacy of a Christian worldview in light of the latest science.
