Christian Naturalism

“As a Christian naturalist grounded in evidence as modern-day Scripture and ecology as the heart of theology, I have valued Karl Peters’s writings for decades. This is an important contribution to the science-and-religion dialogue. I found Dr. Peters’s interpretations of the Christian faith insightful, even (especially!) when they differed from my own. I recommend this book without reservation. It will stretch your mind and warm your heart and deserves a wide readership.”


—Michael Dowd, post-doom eco-theologian and author of Thank God for Evolution





“To open-minded spirits, scientific insights are to be valued for the power they have to provide insight and transform our worldview. In Christian Naturalism, Karl Peters offers sensitive and engaging reflections on major religious and humanist themes. One need not agree with him on each detail to be enriched by reading this well-informed book that is personal and at the same time relevant to all of us.”


—Willem B. Drees, Tilburg University, emeritus





“Masterful! Karl Peters interweaves his life-long immersion in Christian sensibilities with science-based worldviews, creating a lucid and heartfelt synthesis that honors and celebrates both sets of understandings.”


—Ursula Goodenough, Washington University, emerita
