Taking advantage of the brilliant philosophical work of Charles Sanders Peirce, Bradford McCall offers here a unique, theologically adventurous interpretation of the role of chance in evolution. In doing so, he makes the universe and the story of life much more interesting and more precious than the conventional materialist interpretations of nature will ever allow. --John F. Haught, Georgetown University This book is a breath of fresh air. Steering between the Charybdis of New Atheism and the Scylla of creationism, McCall shows . . . that the time has come to see that science and religion can work creatively together to provide a provocative and stimulating understanding of God's place and work in his world. Highly recommended. --Michael Ruse, University of Guelph, emeritus This little gem of a book offers a no-nonsense overview of the interdependence of chance and purpose. McCall condenses five previous books into an immensely readable guide to discerning God in and through the natural world, debunking the myth that biology leaves no place for teleology or transcendence. Highly recommended for college and graduate students and as an introduction to how to conceive of divine action in an age of science. Philip Clayton, Claremont School of Theology
