Bible and Science

S. L. Jaki

     On a cursory look, the Bible and exact science appear to be in a radical conflict. But when both the Bible and the sciences are taken for what they are, one can recognize a mutual dependence on both the conceptual and historical levels. It is also shown that efforts to take the Bible for a textbook on the history of the universe have been no less misplaced than are scientific pretensions about its absolute origin.
     Science is given full due in this book, but so is the Bible as a record of
God's revealed message to man. No less firmly vindicated is that human mind which is created in the image of God. This point comes through with particular force in the chapters on biblical miracles.
     Such and many other negative and positive aspects of the relation
between the Bible and modern science are carefully unfolded in this book by a leading authority on science and religion.
