Description
From the title onward, No Christian Silence on Science is a clarion call to Bible-believing, six-day creation upholding Christians to stand up and be counted. It’s much more than that too. The author, Margaret Helder, has written for Creation Science Dialogue and Reformed Perspective for years, and if you’ve read her there, then you know Dr. Helder approaches God and His creation with awe, and teaches us how to tackle evolution without fear. This book is very much an outgrowth of that work.
This, then, is intended to equip us, so we will be able to give a ready defense of our faith, and fortify us, so we will continue to trust in God, even when we face that attacks that will come in this predominantly Darwinist and secular field.
That’s a big task to tackle in a book that’s just 110 pages. That’s why, while this is a great book, it is no light read – there is a lot packed in here. In the five sections Dr. Helder addresses:
- Science from a Christian Perspective
- How Design in Nature reveals God’s Character and Work
- Christian vs. Darwinian Ethics
- The Christian Student: Meeting the Challenge of Secular Institutions
- Impact of Evolution Thought on Church and Society
Who should read No Christian Silence? This will be of interest to anyone, but for the young high school graduate heading into the Sciences this is a must. If they were to read it before heading to their first university science class, and really work through it slowly and thoughtfully, they would be well-prepared. There are other books they should read too, but this is a very good place to start because Dr. Helder covers all the key controversies, and gives good solid direction on how to meet and deal with the opposition.
