Are science and Christianity inherently incompatible? Is creation science a contradiction in terms? In this pioneering analysis, J. P. Moreland not only answers with a resounding no but makes an impressive contribution to the integration of Christianity and science. Now back in print, this volume expands on concepts outlined in the author’s previous book, Scaling the Secular City. Christianity and the Nature of Science encourages readers to think more clearly about the way science and theology interact. It dispels the notion that science is a matter of rational analysis and Christianity a matter of faith. And it demonstrates how the biblical record regarding the origin of life can and should be a legitimate consideration in scientific study.
