  Additional Info
  Cynthia Crysdale and Neil Ormerod here present a robust theology of God in light of supposed tensions between Christian belief and evolutionary science. A truly intelligent and accessible defense of the compatibility of classical theism with the evolutionary worldview, this volume is an important and provocative contribution to the debate. Creator God, Evolving World clarifies a number of confused assumptions in an effort to redeem chance as an intelligible force interacting with stable patterns in nature.

  By clarifying terms often used imprecisely in both scientific and theological discourse, the authors make the case that the role of chance in evolution neither mitigates God’s radical otherness from creation nor challenges the efficacy of God’s providence in the world. Finally, this view of God and the evolving world yields implications for our understanding of human action. Moral agency, even God’s work of redemption, unfolds according to an ethic of risk rather than by the quick fix of determinative control.
