Reviews

I enjoyed reading this a great deal. Its proposal is serious and well-reasoned, and I want to argue with the author, which is just about the highest recommendation I can give of a book. Michael Ruse, Florida State University With his customary clarity, wit and originality, Schellenberg invites us to re-imagine religion's future possibilities and power within the realm of cultural evolution. This book cuts right through the tired contemporary stand-offs between church and secular science. Sarah Coakley, University of Cambridge This clearly written book is a philosophical tour de force, as accessible as it is profound. Paul Draper, Purdue University
