Reviews

Andrew Steane explains with great clarity and insight the place of science within a more complete account of human understanding, showing in particular how science looks and feels from the perspective of faith in a personal God. This book performs a valuable service, not only in presenting an alternative to a simplistic conflict metaphor of science and faith, but in communicating some of the excitement and wonder of scientific discovery within the broader human search for wisdom and the meaning of life. --Andrew Pinsent, Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion, University ofOxford
