Publisher's summary

Have you ever wondered if it is possible to be a conservative evangelical Christian and also believe in biological evolution—believe that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old and that human beings share a common ancestor with not only chimpanzees, but also with mice and even earthworms? In Exploring Faith and Reason, we find that it is not only possible, it is an essential element of how many Christians come to more fully appreciate the complexity and the great glory of God’s creation.

But of course many people—Christians and non-Christians alike—believe that Christianity and evolution are opposing concepts. They perceive several specific points of conflict between them. Bruce Glass addresses each of those concerns by citing Scripture and the world’s most respected theologians and by the application of reason. Revealed is a deeper and richer understanding of Biblical Scripture and its history. But most importantly, the book encourages a greater appreciation of the power and the capabilities of a living God who transcends space and time—all the while, uniting this insight with the findings of science.

Assigned in classes at both Christian and secular universities, Exploring Faith and Reason is an examination of the intersection of mainstream science and mainstream Christianity.

Kirkus Reviews described Exploring Faith and Reason as: "Smart, well-informed... lucid, engaging... Glass delivers superb exposition of Darwinian theory and a meticulous, sharply reasoned discussion of the evidence that supports it. His logic is impeccable when he insists that evolutionary theory does not rule out the existence of God."

Reverend Jordan Ogden, Lead Pastor at Antioch Community Church in Dallas, said that: "Mr. Glass tackles an historically controversial topic with finesse. Wherever one may be on the issue of evolution, Glass' superb scholarship and unbiased commentary on issues of faith does not disappoint."

The Reverend Dr. Kristin Huffman, associate Pastor at Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church in Houston, put it this way: “Bruce Glass has provided a thought provoking look at the most significant theological issues arising from the advent of evolutionary science. Whatever their conclusions, readers will find Mr. Glass’ treatment a welcome reminder of the richness and depth of God’s Word, as well as a fresh perspective on God’s glorious creation.”

ForeWord Clarion Reviews described the book as: "Well written, thoroughly researched, and honestly fair... The book's thorough and eminently readable scientific explanations provide general science readers with a lucid understanding of this complex subject."

Reverend Michael Dowd, author of Thank God for Evolution, endorsed by six Nobel Prize-winning scientists and by religious leaders across the spectrum, said that: "In Exploring Faith and Reason, Bruce Glass has emerged as a fresh voice for the reconciliation of head and heart. Couched in the language and theology of conservative evangelical Christianity, Mr. Glass' book provides a welcomed bridge between an evidential worldview and traditional Christian conviction. Believers and non-believers alike will find much of value in these pages."
