Reviews
'During the past few years, I have read many bad and (one way or the other) biased books on ID. The Intelligent Design Debate and the Temptation of Scientism is definitely not one of them. In fact, it might well be the best ID book I have ever got my hands on. It is impossible not to be impressed by the way Kojonen handles such a controversial and complex phenomenon. Throughout the book, Kojonen stresses the importance of a balanced, objec-tive analysis of ID - and this exactly what he himself succeeds in delivering. In the back cover endorsements, Jeffrey Koperski calls Kojonen's book simply the best place for students and scholars to start if they are trying to understand the arguments surrounding ID . I could not agree more.' Juuso Loikkanen, University of Easter Finland, European Society for the Study of Science and Theology (ESSSAT)
'This ground-breaking book epitomizes the balanced, scrupulous, and fair-handed intentions of the author. Kojonen analyzes the underlying philosophical and theological issues which structure the debate in order to lift up the strengths and weaknesses of both advocates and opponents of Intelligent Design. I highly recommend this book to theologians, philosophers, scientists and non-specialists who want to hear good news about the underlying connections on a topic which far too often divides both scientific and religious communities.' Robert John Russell, the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley and the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences, USA 'This is the most comprehensive, scholarly monograph on Intelligent Design to date, and Kojonen's well-balanced analysis is a welcome addition to the literature. This book is the best place for students and scholars to start if they are trying to understand the arguments surrounding ID.' Jeffrey Koperski, Saginaw Valley State University, USA
