Honest to Genesis is a book by Dr. Margaret Gray Towne that integrates the biblical creation accounts with modern evolutionary theory.

It is a product of her own quest to find balance between her long-held and devout views as a Christian and the certainty that the laws of nature and science also hold truth and cannot, by a thinking person, be denied.

Did a way exist to reconcile the two and be faithful to both?

The book targets a broad audience, covering both the scientific as well as the theological dimensions of this subject, which continues to be highly volatile in court room, class room and living room.

Beginning upon foundations in critical thinking, it progresses to a historic overview of the dialogue between science and religion. Readers will learn how to examine the Bible in light of its unique cultural and geographic settings, its ancient languages, various authors, and the thousand-year time span of its composition. In addition, the foundations of evolutionary theory are delineated, incorporating the data from fields including geology, paleontology, biochemistry, and biology.

The great news is that conflict need not exist between these often seemingly opposing disciplines if the biblical and scientific records, both written by the same divine author, are appropriately interpreted.
