Deze auteur onderzoekt de kruising van wetenschap en religie. Met een achtergrond in moleculaire biologie en een doctoraat in de neurochemie biedt hij een uniek perspectief op complexe vraagstukken. Zijn werk nodigt uit tot contemplatie over de relatie tussen wetenschappelijk begrip en spirituele zoektocht. Hij biedt inzichtelijke commentaren op deze fundamentele aspecten van het menselijk bestaan.

Builds an integrated position between the biblical doctrine of creation and evolutionary theory. Updated edition.
Finding common ground between the world of biological science and the world of faith.
This book shows how a predisposition to behave in certain ways is influenced at a molecular level by particular genes. Yet a far greater influence on our behaviours is our world-views that lie beyond science - and that have an impact on how we think the latest genetic discoveries should, or should not, be applied.
Exploring the intersection of science and Christian faith, this book delves into whether these realms are mutually exclusive or can coexist and enrich one another. It examines the contributions Christianity can make to contemporary scientific and ethical dilemmas, encouraging a dialogue that seeks to understand how faith can inform and enhance scientific inquiry and moral considerations in today's complex world.
20 papers from the Faraday Institute, by some of the world's leading scientists, philosophers and theologians, on current and future issues surrounding science and faith. Professor Alister McGrath contributes an introductory essay.
This book is for everyone who values their freedom. Science shows us that we are not prisoners of our genes: there is no gene 'for' any particular behaviour. Older ideas of 'nature' and 'nurture' are defunct, and multiple components are woven together in human development. Denis Alexander concludes that genuine free will is the result.
