"For anyone interested in what the Bible can bring to the sometimes bewildering dialogue between science and theology, Harris's study is a must. His discussion is both lively and lucid." - William P. Brown, Columbia Theological Seminary, USA. "Hardly anyone is qualified, as Mark Harris is, to write professionally about both the biblical sources and the science involved in thinking about creation, so this book is a unique contribution to current debates. It is lucid and accessible, and should refresh and illuminate discussions that sometimes seem to have become tired and stale. A major contribution to the study of science and religion." - John Barton, University of Oxford
