100-word review of “Creation or Evolution: Do we have to choose?” by Denis Alexander

The title says it all really; this book is about the creation/evolution debate. Alexander is primarily a geneticist, but is also an evangelical Christian who believes in the authority of the Bible. With considerable humility, which is often lacking in these sorts of books, he outlines the argument for God having used evolution as the method of creation by appealing to both scientific research and Biblical exposition. I enjoyed this book, despite the generous portions of genetic discussion which may fox those outside the scientific community. His argument isn’t waterproof, and he knows it, but it makes for thought-provoking reading.
