So Many Books, So Little Time

I thought it might be fun to compose a list of two dozen or so of the best books I've read on topics which lie at an intersection which includes at least two of the three disciplines of philosophy, science, and/or religion. There are a number or works that I omitted because they're either a little too technical or because they made it onto previous lists that I've compiled. There are probably others that I should have included in this list as well, but I thought twenty eight was a good round number:

  1. The Existence of God - Richard Swinburne
  2. The Coherence of Theism - Richard Swinburne
  3. Our Idea of God - Thomas V. Morris
  4. C.S. Lewis' Dangerous Idea - Victor Reppert
  5. Warranted Christian Belief - Alvin Plantinga
  6. God, Freedom, and Evil - Alvin Plantinga
  7. On Miracles - C.S. Lewis
  8. The Abolition of Man - C.S. Lewis
  9. Scaling the Secular City - J.P. Moreland
  10. Reason in the Balance - Philip Johnson
  11. Revenge of Conscience - J. Budzizewski
  12. Written on the Heart - J. Budzizewski
  13. Finding Darwin's God - Kenneth Miller
  14. Darwin's God - Cornelius Hunter
  15. Moral Darwinism - Benjamin Wiker
  16. The Soul of Science - Nancy Pearcy
  17. Total Truth - Nancy Pearcy
  18. Science and Its Limits - Del Ratzsch
  19. Nature, Design and Science - Del Ratzsch
  20. Science and Religion - Alistair McGrath
  21. Twilight of Atheism - Alistair McGrath
  22. Gods of Atheism - Vincent Miceli
  23. The God Who is There - Francis Schaeffer
  24. Escape From Reason - Francis Schaeffer
  25. How Shall We Then Live - Francis Schaeffer
  26. Atheism: The Case Against God - George Smith
  27. The Miracle of Theism - J. I. Mackie
  28. Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion - David Hume

If readers can suggest other titles that have been helpful to them and would belong on a list of books that connect science, philosophy and/or religion we'll be happy to post the recommendations on Viewpoint.
