little actual influence on the history of this discussion, I think it would have been more useful to devote much of the space, in an expanded part , to detailed studies of those theologians and scientists in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries whose work significantly contributed to the development of the science-theology/religion conversation. However, one could argue that the creative chapters on Hebrew Scripture (by J. Richard Middleton and William P. Brown) and the studies of the various philosophers and theologians are resources for the theological traditions to mine for positive approaches and attitudes toward science. The three chapters of part , on developments in twentiethand earlytwenty-first-century Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant theology in relation to modern science (by Paul J. Schutz, Elizabeth Theokritoff, and Christopher C. Knight, and Sarah Lane Ritchie, respectively) are uniformly excellent and fully contribute to the purpose of a “handbook.” It would be very hard to improve on these survey chapters, and someone seeking a concise discussion of these developments will be well served by studying them. These chapters orient the reader well to the state of the science-religion/ theology discussion at the present time. I found Ritchie’s chapter to be especially insightful in the sweep of its reflection. Finally, I think another major omission in the collection is the absence of contemporary scientific voices. There are many scientists today who are also Christians and who might have contributed creatively to such a collection, enhancing the value and contributions of this book. Instead, the editor intentionally looked away from the “hard” sciences in the interests of expanding the discussion in other directions (see pages  to  of his introduction). Despite these omissions, this book makes important contributions to the field of theology/religion and modern science and would be a valuable addition to any library collection.
