Resources
Here are some of our favourite resources exploring science-faith interactions or areas of science and religious faith about which we’re often asked. They each explore their topic in a way which either actively links science and faith or prepares the way for further questions.
When selecting resources to explore scientific ideas in a Christian context, we encourage you to consider the following points borrowed from an excellent article by our friends at biologos.org.
- When the book includes scientific claims, is it portraying up-to-date consensus science?
- Are scientists and scientific processes accurately described?
- If written from a non-religious perspective, does it advocate a materialistic perspective or disparage faith in God?
- Does it present God’s interaction with his creation as ongoing, rather than confined to one initial act?
Resources labelled with a ‘Faraday Kids’ logo have been produced by our team in collaboration with a range of authors, illustrators and publishers.
