Science and Its Limits

The Natural Sciences in Christian Perspective

Science, especially naturalistic science, no longer commands the near universal respect it once held. From fresh attacks on Darwinism and arguments for intelligent design, to deep doubts about objective truth, scientific or otherwise, Del Ratzsch sets out to develop an account of science that fits well with Christian commitment.

Ratzsch asks and answers, what is science? What can it tell us? What can't it tell us? What challenges does it offer to Christian faith? How should a Christian respond?

Originally published under the title Philosophy of Science , this revised volume surveys how views of science have developed and changed over time, especially since the Kuhnian revolution of the 1960s. Now updated to reflect current discussions of intelligent design and postmodern views of science, Science & Its Limits offers readers a thoughtful perspective on contemporary trends and useful advice on how to approach faith and science issues.
