paperbackRedeeming Creation
The Biblical Basis for Environmental Stewardship
by Fred H. Van Dyke, David C. Mahan, Joseph K. Sheldon, and Raymond H. Brand
"Preeeeep." The sound of the peepers, tiny frogs an inch or two long, penetrated the dusk. Beneath the jack pines at the edge of a small pond in the northern Michigan woods, the males were calling their mates.

Evangelicals Reflect on Faith and Science
BioLogos Books on Science and Christianity
Edited by Kathryn Applegate and J. B. Stump
Foreword by Deborah HaarsmaPerhaps no topic appears as potentially threatening to evangelicals as evolution. The very idea seems to exclude God from the creation the book of Genesis celebrates.
