New to BioLogos

dannazaruk · October 2, 2015, 4:01am

I’m new to the idea of BioLogos. It makes a lot of sense to me, but I’m very new to the theory of evolution, having grown up in predominantly fundamentalist churches, all of which hold to a literal, six-day view of Creation. Does anyone have any reading recommendations for a newbie? I’ve been reading articles on the site, but I’m looking for a book that explains the basic principles of evolutionary biology, from a Christian perspective if possible. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello, and welcome! How about a free online introduction to evolution?
See it here: Evolution 101

And you could check out Denis Lamoureux’s series of lectures on science and religion here: Beyond the “Evolution” vs. “Creation” Debate

And our own Dennis Venema has a very good series right here on Biologos: Evolution Basics

@dannazaruk Welcome Daniel! C. John Collins had some pretty accessible stuff about Science and Faith. As does Francis Collins.
