Can a Christian Be an Evolutionist? Vernon W. Bauer

Drawing on the work of prominent theologians, this book explores the biblical feasibility of a position known as Evolutionary Creationism. It is most similar to Ken Miller's Finding Darwin's God and Denis Alexander's Creation or Evolution. As a college professor, Dr. Bauer has met too many students who feel they have to keep their biology in a "different part" of their brain, or worse, tell him they have decided to walk away from the Christian faith over this issue. Neither of these responses is acceptable. This book is unlikely to change the mind of a person who is positive they have all of the answers to this issue already. That does not mean it is not worth a read. Several pastors and scientists from a variety of denominations and disciplines, respectively, reviewed the manuscript prior to publication.
