Summary
We just can’t stop talking about the big questions around science and faith. They haven’t gone away, as some predicted they might; in fact, we seem to talk about them more than ever. Far from being a spent force, religion continues to grow around the world.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
McGrath’s style is scholarly yet accessible and engaging, and he presents a convincing case for replacing the old “narrative of conflict”… Anyone with an interest in the science-religion debate, whatever their level of expertise, will welcome this balanced and thoughtful contribution. – The Independent * Adrian Read *
Anyone, Christian, atheist or wavering, could gain from it. * Reform Magazine *
It’s a tour de force..the lovely thing for me, given his enormous intellect, is his humility. * Engage Magazine *
A warm approach that invites us to move beyond the conflict narrative… The main purpose of the book is… to win partners into what McGrath calls a ‘narrative of enrichment. * Scottish Christian Broadcast *
He uses brilliant logic and arguments from morality, logic and ethics to show that reality only makes sense in a Christian worldview. * Families First Magazine *
