God and science : the death and rebirth of theism /

Henderson, a Presbyterian minister, attempts to reconcile modern science and theology. He argues cogently that modern science is not as antitheistic as generally believed and in fact can be used to develop a new theism. Addressing the educated believer, he includes chapters on Einstein, Freud, Darwin, Marx, Teilhard de Chardin, and Tillich, and by presenting their arguments concisely exhibits a knowledgeable appreciation of these thinkers. While presuming a belief in the Judaeo-Christian God, Henderson is not polemical. He gives us a balanced look at some major influences on contemporary thought and how these can be understood from the viewpoint of the Judaeo-Christian tradition.
