Overview
Test of Faith is an innovative new resource to help small groups explore the issues raised by science for both faith and ethics, encouraging open discussion of a range of views. It introduces a wide range of hot topics including: Are science and Christianity in conflict? Has the Big Bang pushed God out of the universe? What does 'creation' mean? Is evolution compatible with religious faith? Is cloning ethical? Are humans no more than biological machines? This Study Guide is designed to accompany the Test of Faith course.

Reviews
I feel more confident now with questions and exploration in science and faith. --Course participant With terrific production values, impeccably qualified experts, and a clear-eyed focus on the most important questions, this is an invaluable resource for thinking about science and faith. --Andy Crouch, Senior Editor, Christianity Today International Provides a plethora of discussion angles, especially for classroom and small group settings, on a range of science-faith topics that sorely need open, less contentious Christian dialog. --Dr Daniel L. Burden, Associate Professor, Chemistry Department, Wheaton College I found it hugely encouraging to see Christian scientists who are passionate about their faith. --Course participant The relationship between science and Christian faith is one of the most critical questions for the church, the academy, and the culture at large. Test of Faith provides a rare and extraordinary opportunity to explore this challenging issue with some of the world's leading scientists. --Dan Cho, Executive Director, The Veritas Forum Students, professors and all of us, bombarded by arguments that science and Christianity are incompatible, need help to maintain and defend our faith. I have not seen anything as good as the Test of Faith materials in encouraging and equipping us for this. --Dr Terry Morrison, Director Emeritus, Faculty Ministry, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship USA
