The following is a list of books written by CSCA members that are relevant to science and/or science-and-faith. This list is curated by Patrick Franklin ([email protected]), our President and former Book Review Editor of our CSCA/ASA peer-reviewed journal, Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith. Many of these books have been reviewed in Perspectives.
While the specific views and positions of the authors do not necessarily reflect those of the CSCA (read more about our approach), they do collectively show that there are a number of committed Christians doing quality work in the sciences in Canada and/or writing directly on matters where science and faith intersect.
If you are a member and have a book that you believe belongs on this list, please suggest it to Patrick. In general, submissions should be quality works either in the field of science-and-faith, clearly related to science-and-faith, or works of science written by a Christian; most importantly, these works must be compatible with our ethos. In certain cases, Patrick may request that a copy of the book be sent in for review. (CSCA does not guarantee that every submitted book will be listed; CSCA reserves the right to list, or not list, submissions at our sole discretion.)
