Can science and the Bible have any relationship? Can the Bible tell us something about science? Can science offer us more clarity on what the Bible teaches? These and other questions are asked by many Christians who over the years observe the growth of science and at the same time the depth of the Scriptures.
Personally, I have also asked myself these kinds of questions and I think it is important that we consider them seriously. Dr. Instone-Brewer offers us in this short book, a collection of articles to challenge and enrich our understanding of Scripture from science. The book entitled "Science & the Bible: Modern Insights for an Ancient Text", comprises five main sections, from the Universe, the earth, to miracles. Each section has different articles that address questions or statements that not only arouse curiosity but also understanding of some issues, such as what the Bible says about creation and what science tells us.
Something that I enjoyed about the book is its variety of articles and that at the end of each one of them, you can find a summary of the article, this allows a greater retention of the main ideas. What makes this book different from others of its kind is that it is quite accessible, you may not know much about science, mathematics or cosmology, but you will be able to understand what the author is saying. The only thing I did not like was that some articles were incomplete, that is, more space was needed to address issues such as, for example, evolution and the Scriptures. I understand that the author did a monumental job of condensing these broad themes into so few pages.
If you are looking for a book that helps you see how science can be a tool to understand what the Bible says, this one of those right books. You will enjoy each article, some more than others, but you will be challenged to rethink some issues.
