“This is a first-rate book—readable, nicely written, substantive treatment of key aspects of the history and philosophy of science. It would be an excellent text for courses on science and religion.”
— J.P. Moreland, Biola University

“Pearcey and Thaxton show that the alliance between atheism and science is a temporary aberration and that, far from being inimical to science, Christian theism has played and will continue to play an important role in the growth of scientific understanding. This brilliant book deserves wide readership.”
— Phillip E. Johnson, law professor at the University of California at Berkeley

“I consider The Soul of Science to be a most significant book which, in our scientific age, should be required reading for all thinking Christians.”
— David Shotton, University of Oxford

“Pearcey and Thaxton show the rich interplay between scientific thinking and the deeper philosophical and religious notions that have often informed and motivated scientific research. The best book of its kind in print!”
— Stephen C. Meyer, Director, the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, author of The Return of the God Hypothesis
