Product Description
by Kathryn Applegate (Editor), J. B. Stump (Editor), Deborah Haarsma (Foreword by)
Perhaps no topic appears as potentially threatening to evangelicals as evolution. The very idea seems to exclude God from the creation the book of Genesis celebrates. Yet many evangelicals have come to accept the conclusions of science while stillholding to a vigorous belief in God and the Bible. How did they make this journey? How did they come to embrace both evolution and faith?
Here are stories from a community of people who love Jesus and honor the authority of the Bible, but whoalso agree with what science says about the cosmos, our planet and the life that so abundantly fills it.
