Everyone knows that science and the Christian faith are incompatible-right?

Scientists of Faith relates the personal stories of forty-eight scientists and provides a brief overview of each person's contribution in their own particular field. Included are such notables as Johannes Kepler, Blaise Pascal, Michael Faraday, Gregor Mendel, and George Washington Carver.

Denis Alexander leads a research team at the prestigious Brabaham Institute in Cambridge, and also edits the Christians in Science journal Science and Christian Belief. This book is one of the clearest and easy to read presentations of the viewpoint of an evangelical scientist taking an evolutionary creationist view. The book is geared to the secular world, but would also help those who share his Christian viewpoint and enable Christians who disagree to see that at least some of the criticisms made are based on misunderstanding.
