Wanting to deepen your understanding of how your faith fits with your science but don't know where to start?

In this readable little book, Julian Hardyman shows how God's care for all of creation means there should be no divide between sacred and secular, but rather all parts of our life, science included, should be lived for God's glory.

Theology of science
Let There Be Science
David Hutchings & Tom McLeish
This is a book about why God loves science, and why science needs God. Hutchings & McLeish explore the story of science through history, and through the Bible, to show why science is ultimately God's good idea.
Epic Science, Ancient Faith
D. E. Guenther
What should Christians expect to find when studying the natural world? How does our faith change the way we approach our science? Dan Guenther draws on years of experience in student ministry to suggest 8 attitudes we should bring with us as we come to look at Scripture and science.
The Natural Sciences: A Student's Guide
John A. Bloom
This punchy little book gives an overview of the history and philosophy of science from Aristotle to today, showing how the Christian intellectual tradition is the natural home of scientific endeavour. See the last chapter for important advice to Christians starting out in the sciences.
God, Technology and the Christian Life
Tony Reinke
Reinke's theology of technology is essential reading for anyone studying the sciences, helping us think through the impact that science has in the real world and how God calls us to respond to new advances in technology.
Apologetics
Can Science Explain Everything?
John Lennox
In 10 short chapters, John Lennox questions the modern narrative that we no longer need religion because science is sufficient to explain everything we need to know. He then takes a scientist's approach to the evidence for Christianity to show that belief in Jesus is both rational and satisfying.

The Language of God

Has Science Killed God?

Life as a scientist
God in the Lab
Ruth Bancewicz
Drawing on her own experience in the lab as well as that of many other believing scientists, Ruth Bancewicz explores how Christian faith transforms the day-to-day experience of doing science and speaks into areas such as creativity, beauty and awe which make up the human side of science.
