Evolution and Religion

"Evolution and Religion" explores how religious belief can be understood in the light of evolutionary theory—without reducing faith to mere illusion or treating science as a threat to meaning. A. J. Dadson examines the deep questions that arise when humans try to reconcile origin stories, morality, and purpose with the mechanisms of natural selection. Drawing connections between biology, philosophy, and theology, the book considers what evolution can and cannot explain, and how religion may respond by refining its claims rather than retreating from them. The result is a thoughtful, engaging discussion that invites readers to rethink familiar assumptions and to see the relationship between science and faith as a field of genuine dialogue. Evolution and Religion is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1893.
