Recenzii
"This book is a success. Unless already an expert in the science-religion field... any reader is bound to learn much of value in here."
The book provides a comprehensive and insightful discussion of what's really at stake in the "science and religion discussion" by two eminent philosophers who, speaking on behalf of their own opposing "worldviews," see the larger picture with remarkable clarity." - Kirk Wegter-McNelly, Union College
