Dr. Holder is a member of the International Society for Science and Religion, the Society of Ordained Scientists, and is on the national committee of Christians in Science. His previous books include Nothing But Atoms and Molecules? Probing the Limits of Science and God, the Multiverse, and Everything: Modern Cosmology and the Argument from Design.

"In this eminently clear and readable account of contemporary theological assessments of the project of ‘natural theology,’ Rodney Holder steers the reader through complex terrain and insists on the continuing apologetic importance of the task. A judicious and fair-minded survey of the current debate, this book will prove an invaluable teaching tool-one that neither undermines the supreme value of revelation nor abandons the vital importance of engagement with secular science." – Sarah Coakley, Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge "Can we argue from the world to God? In this important book, Rodney Holder astutely reinstates natural theology at the heart of the theological enterprise. It should be read by all who are concerned about the rational basis of religious belief.” – Roger Trigg, Kellogg College, University of Oxford
