Critics Review
“This book is invaluable for its clear and compelling discussions of religion and science, religion in a pluralistic politics, and the problem of natural evil. Crosby ably develops a religious naturalist perspective while showing that a variety of religious views have much to contribute to these demanding issues of our time. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone concerned about the religious dimensions of today’s challenges, whether a first year college student or an advanced scholar.” — Mary Doak, author of A Prophetic Public Church: Witness to Hope Amid the Global Challenges of the 21st Century
