God and Evolution?: Science Meets Faith

Meet the "match made in heaven" between religion and evolutionary science, seen from a Catholic viewpoint. Through a religious, philosophical, and biological approach, Dr. Verschuuren, a practicing Catholic and a scientist, reveals that science and religion answer different dimensions to the same fundamental question, "Where do we come from?" This perspective allows for a compatible and desirable coexistence—one that preserves, and in fact intensifies, God's splendor in the face of science. Endorsements: “I can promise you this book is going to enrich your mind and deepen your faith. It is a must read, clear and concise, filled with biblical and scientific truths. I enjoyed the book enormously. I even read it on a plane during one of my pastoral travels.” —Bishop Carlos A. Sevilla, S.J., Diocese of Yakima, WA “God and Evolution? is a thoughtful, well argued, and easy to read presentation of the conversation between science and faith.” —Francisco J. Ayala, Professor of Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Irvine, CA “I found the book very interesting and unusually user-friendly. Whether the reader agrees or disagrees with the controversial thesis of this book, it is clearly and strongly argued and it is a delightful and enlightening read. I like the book very much.” —Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy, Boston College, MA “An enlightening and delightful tour through the issues of faith and science that continue to swirl around Darwin's great idea. Verschuuren's ease with science, philosophy, and theology will surely help to defuse the tiresome rhetoric of God vs. science that is so common today.” —Kenneth R. Miller, Professor of Biology, Brown University, RI
