Reviews

"In Theology and Modern Science James Wiseman provides an informed and skillfully crafted theological interpretation of natural science. He does this in a modest and pedagogically appealing manner that will make his work accessible to students as well as scholars. This compact, clearly written and well-organized volume is the fruit of careful scholarly reflection and passionate involvement in the major issues in natural science and theology today."--John F. Haught, author of God After Darwin

"This is an excellent introduction to the field of science and theology. James Wiseman tackles some of the really tough issues with intelligence and honesty. He writes in a clear and accessible way. On each issue he presents a range of scholarly opinions before offering his own. This is a really useful text for courses in colleges, seminaries, and universities as well as for the general reader."--Denis Edwards, author of The God of Evolution

[excellent] "!!!!! Must Read" --Public News Service, June 24, 2002

"Wiseman takes us on an urbane tour of the now lively and even crowded territory known as 'science and religion.'...Particularly useful is his summary and respectful judgment of the opinions of others, including those with whom he disagrees."--Paul Giurlanda, Interpretation, April 2003

"...a skillfully crafted interpretation of the contemporary science-theology dialogue..." -Trinity Seminary Review
