Darwin's Pious Idea (6 Parts)

This six-part series, written by John Wesley Wright, engages in a review of Darwin’s Pious Idea, a book by Conor Cunningham. Wright affirms Cunningham’s refusal to “correlate scientific findings directly with the biblical so that one or the other has to give.” According to Wright, Darwin’s Pious Idea is a powerful work that “will require new mediating thoughts, rethinking the issues again and again in taking all things to Christ.”
