Sound science and personal reflection on religious questions are presented in this discussion on the continuing conflict between science teaching and religious beliefs. The effects of scriptural literalism and the heightened interest in interfaith initiatives and multicultural diversity makes this a timely book that provides extensive evidence in support of evolution as a scientific reality and how it can be reconciled with various faiths. Examining three monotheistic religions in particular - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam - and their relationship to Darwinism, this study concludes that evolution is not an obstacle to faith but a complement to it. In a world where more and more people are seeking common ground, both culturally and personally, this book is a valuable addition to the discussion.
