Industry Reviews

“This nice collection makes available Michael Ruse’s always fresh and unique thoughts about science and faith and especially about the theological implications of the Darwinian revolution. The material gathered here is grounded in years of scholarly research, but Ruse presents it in a readable format that will appeal not only to students and professors but also to anyone else in the age of science concerned about the meaning and future of religious faith.”
—John F. Haught, distinguished research professor of theology, Georgetown University

“Witty arrogance that masks humility. Easy reading on profound topics. A very fine autobiographical chapter on Michael Ruse as ‘Mummy’s boy.’ Essays that draw on his oeuvre on Darwinian evolutionary biology in various contexts and controversies. He writes sensibly on biology, philosophy, ethics, religion, values and much more.”
—Willem B. Drees, academic secretary for the humanities and social sciences, Royal Holland Society for the Sciences and Humanities
