First of all, the concepts discussed are not introductory. Second, I didn't feel the author kept his reason for writing the book in as plain view as he could have; there were many times when I had to reread the back of the book to remind myself what the author's intent in writing this book was because it seemed like his beliefs flip-flopped between evolution and religion (creation). Third, I think this is the first book I've read where the physical set-up of it gave me a headache. I don't know if it was the color of the paper (less contrast with the black print), the font and font size chosen, or the (seemingly) narrower margins than most other books, but whatever it was, I could usually only read a section or two at a time before having to put the book down due to a headache forming. ( ) NCLA Review - John F. Haught, is a Roman Catholic theologian who has published several works on the interface between theology and science. He describes himself as an “evolutionary creationist” and sees science and religion as two different and noncompeting levels of explanation for the genesis of the universe. Haught is particularly troubled by the claims of such well-known current exponents of evolutionary theory such as Richard Dawkins, who insist that a belief in evolution is incompatible with a belief in God. Haught sets out to reconcile these viewpoints and does so thoughtfully in well-written prose. It is refreshing to read something on this topic that isn’t a polemic either from the fundamentalist Christian side or from the atheistic side. Recommended for congregations where there is an interest in this topic. Rating: 3 —RMF nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Evolution makes good scientific sense. The question is whether it makes good theological sense as well. Christians who find evolution contrary to faith often do so because they focus solely on the issues of the world's design and the notion of the gradual descent of all life from a common ancestry. But that point of view overlooks the significance of the dramatic narrative going on beneath the surface. What evolution is has become more important than what it means. Haught suggests that, rather than necessarily contradicting one another, theologians and Darwinian scientists actually share an appreciation of the underlying meaning and awe-inspiring mystery of evolution. He argues for a focus on evolution as an ongoing drama and suggests that we simply cannot-indeed need not-make complete sense of it until it has fully played out. Ultimately, when situated carefully within a biblical vision of the world as open to a God who makes all things new, evolution makes sense scientifically and theologically.
