Pre-Organic Evolution: And the Biblical Idea of God; An Exposition (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore how evolution and belief meet in a careful, sustained argument about the nature of change and the divine.

In this thoughtful exposition, Charles Chapman examines the broad meaning of Evolution beyond the purely scientific, framing it as a cosmic process that spans matter, mind, and time. The work contrasts modern theories with biblical ideas of God, asking how a rational worldview can coexist with faith while avoiding overstatement or mystery for mystery’s sake.

Readers will trace the discussion from foundational questions about the origin of change to the implications for right belief, morality, and our understanding of the Living God. The volume presents a methodical critique of competing theories and a clear pathway toward a reasoned theism grounded in observation and reflection.

• Clarifies what Evolution does and does not claim in different domains—cosmic, organic, mental, and moral.


• Provides a critical look at the arguments for a purely mechanical or an all-encompassing process.


• Offers a framework for reconciling scientific insight with biblical imagery of creation and purpose.


• Highlights key points about knowability, personality, and the nature of divine action in a changing world.

Ideal for readers interested in the dialogue between science and faith, and for anyone seeking a calm, rigorous approach to these enduring questions.
