Description
Reviews
John Suppe --Princeton University "This book makes very significant progress toward disentangling the gargantuan knot surrounding creation, science, and Christianity by providing us with perspective on how and why we got entangled and by offering reliable accounts not only of the contributions of geology, astronomy, and cosmology but also -- most refreshingly -- of what rigorous exegesis indicates the Bible means to say. This work encourages some optimism that indeed the knot can be untangled to the glory and knowledge of God."
