Recenzje

Creationism USA is an, informed, helpful, and optimistic analysis of America's culture war over origins. Emphasizing that most Americans share a deep theological commitment that God created the world, the book unpacks the political and cultural dimensions of the evolution controversy. Laats is a gifted writer and this is a valuable contribution to an important conversation too often dominated by superficial shouting.
