This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://biologos.org/blogs/jim-stump-faith-and-science-seeking-understanding/old-earth-or-evolutionary-creation-a-new-book-shows-fruits-of-multi-year-dialogue
Is there a sample of this book to be had?
How do you get a Creationist to move from āpartial but adamant acceptanceā of Geology ā¦ to acceptance of the rest of Science?
Iām quite curious about it all !!!
I look forward to the next few articles! I am also heartened by the cordial dialogue between RTB and Biologos.
This book is very important.
āThis book has cultural significance that extends far beyond the origins debate. Here, Christians with deep disagreements chose to worship together, laboring for several years to understand and love each other. In a society marked by angry divisions, the hard work of reconciliation chronicled in this book is rare, beautiful, and an example for us all to follow.ā
This sounds like a great book and Iām looking forward to finding out more about it! I enjoy reading both the Biologos and RTB websites so a genuine dialogue between the two sounds like a must-buy for me. It took me a lot of clicking to find the details for the book so Iāll share it here to save others the same bother: ISBN: 978-0-8308-5292-5

It will be available on amazon.com for $14.93 sometime in the not too distant future. It looks like you can only pre-order at the moment, regardless of which seller you prefer.
Does anyone know if IVPress plans to release a Kindle ebook version?
The table of contents is pretty interesting ā¦ I had to go to the press kit to get it ā¦ because the āinteractiveā button for letting me read the chapter names worked for approximately 3 tenths of 1 secondā¦

Bibliography
Itās not money. Hume describes it perfectly ā¦ and I think thereās a footnote about me in his work too ā¦
(Apparently, I was not my motherās favoriteā¦ how disappointingā¦)
Iām pretty sure Hume was the one to first coin the phrase:
"If it isnāt Scottish ā¦ itās c [>. rolling rās here.< ] ud!
It is heartening to read about the ongoing, civil, discourse between BioLogos and RTB!
I just finished reading _Old Earth or Evolutionary Creation? and thought it was a pretty good book. My overall impression is that the Biologos participants bested their RTB counterparts, but given that I am firmly in the Biologos camp, no one should be surprised. Notwithstanding that, the book provides the reader a good, broad understanding of the range of issues related to the topic. I plan to encourage others interested in the subject to make a point to read this book.
