For some of us, the shortening daylight hours and colder weather means more time to curl up with a good book in the evenings. For those looking for new books to read during the fall and winter months, BioLogos offers a selection of excellent books about the harmony of science and faith on our Web site BioLogos.org. Here’s a sampling of the 37 titles that make up our “Recommended Books<\/a>” section:<\/p>\n

\"cover-i-love-jesus.jpg\"<\/span>I Love Jesus & I Accept Evolution<\/a>\"\"<\/b>
\n<\/i> by Denis O Lamoureux<\/b>
“In this thought-provoking book, born-again Christian Denis O.
\nLamoureux argues that the God of the Bible created the universe and
\nlife through evolution–an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting
\nnatural process. In other words, evolution is not the result of blind
\nchance and our creation is not a mistake. Lamoureux challenges the
\npopular assumption that God disclosed scientific facts in the opening
\nchapters of Scripture thousands of years before their discovery by
\nmodern science.” – Wipf and Stock Publishers<\/em><\/p>\n

Questions of Truth<\/a>\"\"
\n<\/i> by John Polkinghorne and Nicholas Beale<\/b>
\"cover-questions-of-truth-thumb.jpg\"<\/span>“For many years, people from across the world have sent the
\nscientist-turned-priest John Polkinghorne questions about science and
\nbelief. In question-and-answer format, Polkinghorne and his
\ncollaborator Nicholas Beale offer their informed opinions about some of
\nthe most asked questions. Readers can follow their own paths through
\nthe book, selecting questions that interest them and looking at the
\nadditional material if they choose. The unique book will help
\nChristians clarify their beliefs and better face challenges to their
\nfaith.” – Amazon<\/em><\/div>\n
\n

\"Galileo<\/a><\/span>Galileo Goes to Jail and Other Myths about Science and Religion<\/a>\"\"
\n<\/i>
<\/b><\/div>\n

“An illuminating study of the relationship between science and
\nreligion…This book features the contributions of a team of 25
\nscholars that includes agnostics, atheists, and Christians. Their
\ncollective objective is to dispel the “hoary myths” of the supposedly
\nbellicose relationship between religion and science. Readers will be
\nfascinated by the evidence that for advocating Copernicanism, Galileo
\nwas not imprisoned (as commonly thought) but interrogated–albeit under
\nthe threat of torture–and set up in an apartment.” – C. Brian Smith, Library Journal<\/em><\/p>\n
