Darwin and God - Softcover
Synopsis
A very helpful discussion of a neglected and important subject' Mary Midgley. Nick Spencer draws on Darwin's autobiography, manuscripts, notebooks and letters - as well as his world-famous publications - in exploring Darwin's view of design, purpose, morality, the universe and the human mind. The author argues that, although Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection did undermine his Christian faith, it was the age-old problem of suffering - first in theory, then through the dreadful loss of his favourite child - that caused it to break down. Darwin and God is the first full-length account of Darwin's religious beliefs to be published in the UK. Meticulously-researched, it presents a moving, compelling and tumultuous story of one of the world's greatest scientists.

Review
"* 'A very helpful discussion of a neglected and important subject' Mary Midgley * 'This fascinating and readable book fills a big gap in the Darwin literature and provides a well-researched overview of Darwin's religious struggles.' Denis Alexander, Director, The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion * 'When misconceptions abound concerning Darwin's religious views, it is good to read such a sensitive, reliable and absorbing account.' John Hedley Brooke, Emeritus Professor of Science and Religion, University of Oxford"
