Description

This comprehensive work, one of a series cosponsored by the Christian College Coalition, addresses the needs of the Christian student of biology to align both science and faith. It demonstrates that the study of biology penetrates to the very depths of existence and can contribute to the construction of a consistent Christian world view.

Richard Wright explores the biblical message of creation, relating it to contemporary understanding of origins and the responsibilities of our human "stewardship" of the planet. He stresses the biblical message of dominion and how it applies to the interaction of the life sciences with society in medicine, genetics, and the environment. The author addresses what the bible states about God and His world-- the meaning of creation, and how biblical concepts relate to science and the "natural laws", high-lighting the unique nature of biology and its interaction with Christian thought.
