Religion and Creation, like the other three books in this series, relates Christianity to other major religions, science, philosophy etc. It does so in a manner which enriches ones understanding of all the subjects he touches on. Keith fully acknowledges that he is coming from a committed Christian perspective and it is when he is discussing Christianity that his writing takes on a greater, inspiring dimension. On a personal level these books have given me a much fuller understanding of many issues which I have been pondering and have resulted in myself now having a much deeper and more meaningful Theology which is actually lived. These are a serious read; but I'm sure that the effort put in will be repaid many fold. We are very fortunate to be able to access Keith's immense academic and experiential knowledge.

eclectic and complex
9 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
Being unsubscribed to any faith but being very interesting in the parallels between most, I found this book very interesting, especially so because the author chose to focus on leading (and sometimes controversial) thinkers in the four areas of christianity, judaism, islam and orthodox hindu.
The author takes the parallels he finds between these four faiths and attempts to construct a trinitarian view of God. I often found it amusing that he tries to rubbish the influence of classical thought (especially the Platonists and Aristoteleans) yet constructs an intriguing Trinitarian Creationist God not too far from the 'pagan' One/Good of Plato, Plotinus, or even, for that matter, the reasonably orthodox Trinitarian christian God of S T Coleridge.
