The Essence of Darwinism

The Essence of Darwinism provides a compact and accessible summary of where Darwinian theory currently stands, and how it has changed and developed over the last 150 years.  Is Darwinism true?  Is it the only theory that can explain our origins?  Should we care?  Are we taking the wisdom of Genesis seriously enough?

In her fourth book in the ‘Essence of…” series, Dr Kirsten Birkett considers these important questions, with her usual clarity and insight.  The Essence of Darwinism provides a compact and accessible summary of where Darwinian theory currently stands, and how it has changed and developed over the last 150 years.  More importantly, Dr Birkett provides a compelling arguement as to why debates about evolution and Darwinism are so stubbornly religious, and why the biblical view is so often portrayed as the enemy of Darwinism.  For anyone who wants to really understand Darwinism, and its relation to biblical Christianity, this short straightforward book is the place to start.
