How I Changed My Mind About Evolution: Evangelicals Reflect on Faith and Science (BioLogos Books on Science and Christianity)

4.20 out of 5 stars

Description

Evolution is often seen as a threat to evangelical values, as if the concept of natural selection and adaptation somehow diminishes the grandeur of God's creation described in Genesis. Yet, many evangelicals have successfully navigated this perceived conflict, embracing both the scientific consensus and their deep-seated faith in God and the Bible. But how did they reconcile these seemingly disparate worldviews? The stories of a community of Jesus-loving, Bible-honoring individuals who also accept the scientific narrative of the universe, Earth, and its teeming life forms offer a fascinating glimpse into this journey. This diverse group of contributors includes renowned scientists like Francis Collins, Deborah Haarsma, and Denis Lamoureux, as well as pastors John Ortberg, Ken Fong, and Laura Truax, esteemed biblical scholars N. T. Wright, Scot McKnight, and Tremper Longman III, and influential theologians and philosophers James K. A. Smith, Amos Yong, and Oliver Crisp. Through BioLogos Books on Science and Christianity, we are invited to explore the harmony between scientific inquiry and biblical faith, delving into topics such as cosmology, biology, paleontology, evolution, human origins, environmental stewardship, and more.
