Highly recommended for anyone who thinks Christianity and Science don't mix. This book is full of short biographies about scientists who were believers in Jesus Christ. The author points out how a Biblical worldview was necessary for the development of science and then goes through scientist after scientist after scientist who were believers and what they discovered. or he/she can never assume that results will be repeatable.Even today a scientist who believes only in a naturalistic worldview must borrow the Biblical worldview or he/she can never assume that results will be repeatable.Another important element that comes through this book is that science is never sett. "Scientists of faith" according to Robin Elwing. This is the benchmark text I used to affirm the origins of the scientific conglomerate as men of FAITH. These researchers were the men who discovered gas law, thermodynamics, the laws of gravity, and many others. One might be surprised that these are the very scientists my generation studied some 50 years ago, as Christian men, but who appear as cold, pragmatic, calculating men, in the science texts, today. The truth is revealed, the challenges, dire efforts sacrificing much to gain understanding of what we now utilize as rudiments of our scientific structure. Not enough of the personalities . Good place to start This book is a good place to begin research of the topic of scientists of faith. The religious views of each scientist are summerized over several pages. The writing style is clear and concise. There are references given for more detailed information. Overall, it is an interesting read.
Two thumbs up for this pair! These books are fascinating to read, very educational, well researched, and present an amazing wealth of detailed information for their compact size. Howard Church and Synagogue Libraries 2004-06-03) --1 . (Thomas F
