See our earlier articles on recent related books, "Inherit the Monkey Trial | Scopes-trial historian Ed Larson explains why Christians should be taught evolution" (May 23) and "We're Not in Kansas Anymore | Why secular scientists and media can't admit that Darwinism might be wrong" (May 19).

Kenneth Miller's Finding Darwin's God is available from the Christianity Online Bookstore. The first chapter of his book is available here, along with a series of reactions. Miller's home page at Brown University offers, among other things, his review of Michael Behe's well-known book, Darwin's Black Box. In 1996, Miller was involved in an online debate with Philip Johnson, author of Darwin on Trial. Miller discussedFinding Darwin's God on a Boston radio program in January. (You can listen to a recording here using the free RealPlayer.) Last month, Miller delivered the keynote address at a University of Kansas/ American Association for the Advancement of Science conference on teaching evolution in public schools.

John Haught, author of God After Darwin, is also the author of the 1995 book, Science and Religion: From Conflict to Conversation. Haught adapted part of Science and Religion for an essay titled "Does Evolution Rule Out God's Existence?" He appeared as a guest on a 1995 edition of the PBS program "Think Tank," where he discussed the implications of evolution for theology. In January of this year, Haught and Miller spoke at a National Academy of Sciences conference titled "Beyond the Headlines: The Evolution of God and Darwin."

The Boston Phoenix, an alternative secular newsweekly, reviewed Haught and Brown's books in March. The review notes affinities between Haught's view of God and that found in process theology. Earlier this year, Christianity Today looked at the possible influence of process thought on certain streams of Evangelical theology.

Last year, the Christian Courier published a very balanced article on the relationship between faith and science. The Talk.Origins Archive has an essay titled "God and Evolution" at its site. The Web site for British-based Christians in Science includes the transcript of a public lecture given by one of its members entitled "Does Evolution Have Any Religious Significance?" Keith Miller, a Christian geologist at Kansas State University, has published an article called "Theological Implications of an Evolving Creation."

Books & Culture, a Christianity Today sister publication, has a series of Web sites relating to Christianity and science on its Web site, as well as a steady stream of related articles.
