Exploring the Connections Between Science and Faith

The BioLogos Foundation invites the church and the world to see the harmony between science and biblical faith as they present an evolutionary understanding of God's creation. BioLogos Books on Science and Christianity, a partnership between BioLogos and IVP Academic, aims to advance this mission by publishing a range of titles from scholarly monographs to textbooks to personal stories.

This series invites readers to see the harmony between the sciences and biblical faith on issues including cosmology, biology, paleontology, evolution, human origins, the environment, and more. The books are accessible to a wide audience, from non-specialists to experts in the field.

Authored by committed Christians who are also leading scholars in their fields, these books address a range of topics on science and faith while supporting the view of evolutionary creation which sees evolution as our current best scientific description of how God brought about the diversity of life on earth. Join the conversation on science and faith with these accessible, thought-provoking works.

Praise for Books in the Series

"This is a brave and much-needed book. A church that tries to ignore the Fathers of the church deprives itself of a valuable resource. Craig Allert seeks to show how attention to how the Fathers understood Genesis 1 deepens our own understanding of creation. He cuts through a lot of misunderstanding and ignorance of the Fathers enabling us to hear them once more. Professor Allert's proposal is not so much 'Back to the Fathers' as 'Forward with the Fathers.'"

—Andrew Louth, professor emeritus, Durham University

"Origins, particularly human origins, continues to be a controversial issue among evangelical Protestants. In Old-Earth or Evolutionary Creation?, the organizations BioLogos and Reasons to Believe model a respectful interchange of ideas in spite of their significant differences. The result is an intelligent and illuminating discussion of this crucial and timely topic."

—Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College

"Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins is a groundbreaking book. These engaging, field-tested materials, used over many years by outstanding faculty at a flagship Christian university, are sure to be an important new resource for Christian students. Understanding Scientific Theories of Origins reflects top-notch scholarship sensitively distilled to an accessible level, and it is uniquely comprehensive in its treatment of data from the physical and biological sciences, as well as philosophy, theology, and biblical studies. [This book] is going to be on my short list of recommended resources in this important area. Highly recommended!"

—Jeff Hardin, Raymond E. Keller Professor and Chair of the Department of Integrative Biology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
