Test All Things

“Gijsbert van den Brink has placed us all in his debt by this effort to engage a set of controversies raised by natural science for biblical faith. With attention to the dimensions of wisdom, van den Brink takes biblical authority seriously while asking challenging questions about the genre, worldview, and true meaning of biblical texts. Even readers who disagree with some of his judgments should appreciate the biblical foundation and wise serenity of his work.”


—Matthew Levering, chair of theology, Mundelein Seminary





“This book offers substantial, non-technical reflections on questions about science, faith, and Scripture by distinguishing the original meaning of a text from its lasting significance. There is attention for the possibilities and limitations of scholarship in many areas. Importantly, it models attitudes towards faith and scholarship, making it relevant for a broad range of issues. Questions for discussion are included.”


—Jitse van der Meer, professor emeritus of biology, Redeemer University
