Richard J. Coleman is the author of two previous books exploring the subject matter of religion and science: 'Competing Truths: Theology and Science as Sibling Rivals' and 'Eden's Garden: Rethinking Sin and Evil in an Era of Scientific Promise'. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University and Princeton Theological Seminary, the author has retired from a career as teacher, executive director, and minister in the United Church of Christ.

In this candid survey and synthesis, Richard Coleman states clearly what he considers to be both right and wrong in contemporary attempts to integrate science with the world of faith and theology. This well-informed book deserves careful reading and commentary.
