Many young Christians interested in the sciences have felt torn between two options: remaining faithful to Christ or studying science. In this concise introduction, Josh Reeves and Steve Donaldson provide both advice and encouragement for Christians in the sciences to bridge the gap between science and Christian belief and practice.
Many young Christians interested in the sciences have felt torn between two options: remaining faithful to Christ or studying science. Heated debates over the past century have created the impression that we have to choose between one or the other. The result has been a crisis of faith for many students.
Josh Reeves and Steve Donaldson present a concise introduction to the study of science that explains why scientists in every age have found science congenial to their faith and how Christians in the sciences can bridge the gap between science and Christian belief and practice. If Christians are to have a beneficial dialogue with science, it will be guided by those who understand science from the inside. Consequently, this book provides both advice and encouragement for Christians entering or engaged in scientific careers because their presence in science is a vital component of the church's witness in the world.

Josh A. Reeves (PhD, Boston University) is a project administrator in the Samford University Center for Science and Religion in Birmingham, Alabama. He manages the New Directions in Science and Religion project, which brings constructive science and religion dialogue into the church. Steve Donaldson (PhD, University of Alabama) is the director of the computer science program and codirector of the computational biology program at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. He is also a cofounder of the Samford University Center for Science and Religion.
