Why read it?

1 author picked Chance or Purpose? Creation, Evolution and a Rational Faith as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

In this book, catholic Cardinal Christoph Schonborn tackles hard questions concerning religion and evolution by developing a carefully reasoned "theology of creation."Ā When I first read it, I was intrigued by his disagreement with some of his fellow Catholic thinkers, a disagreement that illustrates the range of positions that one can take on these issues, even if one shares the same general perspective. SchonbornĀ considers such questions as: Can we still speak intelligently of the world as "creation" and affirm the existence of the Creator, or is God a "delusion"? How should an informed believer read the Book of Genesis?…

From Brendan's list on religion, evolution, and chance.
