For someone looking for a textbook on the topic, this book presents both the classic (historical) and contemporary dialogue, touching on the main topics normally encountered in this genre. It is written from a theistic evolutionary perspective with little comment on how other positions approach the topics.

If philosophy interests you and you're looking to think deeply about what you read, you will like this book. Otherwise, I expect you'll get caught up in the jargon. (less)
