Kirjan takakannesta:

Science: systems of knowledge of the physical or material world based on facts obtained through observation and experimentation.

Scientism: the view that hard sciences alone have the intellectual authority to give us knowledge of reality.

Rigid adherence to scientism – as opposed to a healthy respect for science – is all too prevalent in our world today. Rather than leading to a deeper understanding of our universe, this worldview actually undermines real science and marginalizes morality and religion.

In this book, celebrated philosopher J. P. Moreland exposes the self-defeating nature of scientism and equips us to recognize scientism's harmful presence in different aspects of our culture, emboldening our witness to biblical Christianity and arming us with strategies for the integration of faith and science – the only feasible path to genuine knowledge.

A philosophical treatise with a practical message for anyone wanting to live life more abundantly in accord with genuine knowledge of God.

Moreland shows how Christians can defend their faith against scientific objections, while affirming genuine science as a gift from God.
