"After all the shouting in this science/religion conflict, I
appreciated the calm, respectful tone that characterizes The
Language of Science and Faith."
*LeRoy Lawson, Christian Standard, September 2012*
"We need more models like this that show us how to interact with
the issues so that we will not continue to hypocritically take
advantage of the advances of science while rejecting its
foundational theories. Collins and Giberson are humble and gentle
guides in this regard."
*Amos Yong, The Pneuma Review, Summer 2012*
"In this informative and accessible book, [Giberson and Collins]
answer many questions about evolution and its relation to Christian
faith."
*The Christian Century, May 2, 2012*
"This book should convince those sitting on or near the fence on
questions of evolution and Christian belief. In this context, I
heartily recommend The Language of Science and Faith."
*Thomas Jay Oord, Studies in Religion/Sciences Religieuses,
40(4)*
"This book will illuminate an under-exposed mind to methods of
science oftentimes demonized. If nothing else, The Language of
Science and Faith makes a great read and an excellence source of
insight into a side of the creation-evolution debate not typically
explored by evangelicals."
*Cody Hamilton Nygard, The Baptist Standard, August 15, 2011*
"The authors disentangle the false conclusions of Christians and
atheists alike about science and evolution from the actual results
of research in astronomy, physics, geology and genetics. In its
place they find a story of the grandeur and beauty of a world made
by a supremely creative God."
*Christian News, March 21, 2011*
"For too long, followers of Jesus have been told they have to make
a choice—between science and Christianity, reason and belief, their
intellectual integrity and their faith. The Language of Science and
Faith is a readable and comprehensive resource for the thoughtful
Christian who refuses to choose. Giberson and Collins tackle
difficult topics with charity, accessibility and integrity, moving
the origins conversation forward in a way that honors God and
builds up the church. This is a must-read for those who want to
love the Lord with their heart, soul, mind and strength."
*Rachel Held Evans, author of Evolving in Monkey Town*
"Collins and Giberson add a learned and engaging voice to the
continuing struggle between Christian faith and scientific
knowledge. The authors are central figures in advancing a true
conversation between an ancient faith and modern ways of knowing,
and it is hard to match their experience in dealing with the
central questions covered in this volume. The Language of Science
and Faith is an accessible distillation of their wisdom and I
recommend it with great enthusiasm."
*Peter Enns, Senior Fellow in Biblical Studies, The BioLogos
Foundation*
"The theory of evolution raises important questions for Christians
of all sorts, but this book is the best I've found to address the
concerns of American evangelicals. It is written in clear enough
language to be accessible to students at a variety of levels, yet
sophisticated enough to be of interest to professionals in both
science and theology. It is at once intelligent and inspiring."
*Nancey Murphy, professor of Christian philosophy, Fuller
Theological Seminary*
"Concise. Clear. Convincing. The Language of Science and Faith
provides a straightforward means whereby the two sides of this
contentious issue can get themselves on the same page. I recommend
it as a resource for individuals and groups who want to believe
that God speaks through both Scripture and nature."
*Daniel M. Harrell, Ph.D., senior minister, Colonial Church, Edina,
Minn., and author of Nature?s Witness: How Evolution Can Inspire
Faith*
"This book is destined to become a classic for those who, with an
open mind, are willing to seriously wrestle with questions about
the relationship of modern science with Christian faith. It is not
for the faint of heart but is a treasure trove for those willing to
dig deep into this critical subject."
*Dr. Tim Johnson, senior medical contributor for ABC News and
author of Finding God in the Questions*
"Two challenging languages, one old and wise, one modern and
awesome. Two very different accounts of human origins. Can the book
of Scripture and the book of nature both be true in the age of
science? We need sympathetic and enlightening interpreters. Happily
Giberson and Collins here offer a guide to the perplexed that is
reverent, relevant and very well-informed."
*Owen Gingerich, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics,
author of God's Universe*
"As a pastor, I am constantly searching for resources that will
guide people to the fullness of God. I care that my congregation be
attracted toward God's artistry, moved by his majesty and
intellectually challenged by his sovereignty. This book is at the
top of my recommendations both as an evaluation of theories of
creation and as a devotional that prompts us to revere the
Creator."
*Joel C. Hunter, Northland Church, Longwood, Florida*
