Riassunto

A fresh look at the Bible from the analytical and rational perspective of a scientist. The nuanced, rational and honest approach will be appreciated by any reader with an open and enquiring mind. Issues of scripture and authority, contradiction and ambiguity are tackled with characteristic clarity, and the theological challenges of the Old Testament, the Gospels and the writing of St Paul are addressed with energy.

Recensione

John Polkinghorne's belief that God's creation helps make itself at every level allows him to fit into one picture evolution and its costliness and the Christian redemptive answer to human and natural evil. --Timothy McDermott, Times Literary Supplement
