Alister McGrath: The Science of God

| May 20, 2007 | no comments

Practically speaking, The Science of God is characterized by brisk-like brevity. Brevity makes it more understandable for non-specialists but eliminates in-depth arguments. Fortunately, consulting the considerably fuller scientific theology trilogy quickly connects with the extensive background underlying the work. And the short work is immensely helpful for cutting through complexities to get at core concepts. McGrath’s command of his material and ability to communicate it clearly are consistent. Careful organization, cross-referencing, and good endnotes and index enhance readers’ benefit and enjoyment. The Science of God by Alister E. McGrath is highly recommended for anyone interested in rigorously relating classical Christian religion and the contemporary scientific world.
