Mapping the contested border between science and faith
Ted Johnston, The Surprising God Blog
"I particularly appreciate Rau's humility and, to the extent possible, his objectivity."
This is far more than a review. It is rather an 8 part summary of the book, with theological commentary. I highly recommend it.
Chris Harris, A View from the Right
"I find the distinctions/labels used by Dr. Gerald Rau in his book Mapping the Origins Debate: Six Models of the Beginning of Everything quite helpful, particularly for distinguishing the types of TE."
Mark Wessner, Genesis and Human Origins: What Makes a Human ‘Human’ and Why Does it Matter?
“While there are a number of possible approaches, I have found Gerald Rau’s Mapping the Origins Debate immensely helpful in establishing a basic framework through which to explore the many questions of origins.”
Martin LaBar, Sun and Shield Blog, Southern Wesleyan University, Retired Science Teacher
“What Rau attempts, and does well, is to discuss six different models for origins.”
David Hamid, Bishop of the Church of England Diocese in Europe
"This is not a book that gives a particular answer to the question of the origins of the universe and of planet earth. Readers who want that will be disappointed. What it does do is to identify in a level headed and even handed way the key issues involved in looking at this question and why people looking at the same evidence continue to disagree about the answer to it. What this book offers its readers is the opportunity to become better informed about the current debates on origins and better thinkers about the issues at stake and for that reason it is well worth reading."
