"Some question whether biblical faith is compatible with the findings of natural science, especially regarding human origins. Matthew Hill engages that question with genuine respect. Even those untroubled by evolutionary biology may be surprised and encouraged by his further claim that our evolutionary nature has significance for our growth in Christlikeness. Combining sound knowledge of the issues and a down-to-earth style, Embracing Evolution invites thoughtful readers and engaged study groups."

"Hill has written a very accessible book that makes a strong case for the positive benefits of accepting evolution theory and Christian faith as compatible. What impresses me most, though, is the intellectually humble way in which he addresses the topic. Unlike much of what we see from our political and religious leaders today, Hill does not claim that his perspective alone is valid and that those who differ either lack the requisite knowledge or have questionable motives. Hill acknowledges the challenges facing honest, thoughtful Christians who think seriously about evolution and their faith and invites them to consider―rather than trying to coerce them to accept―the ways in which faith and evolution can be brought into profitable integration."

"In recent years there has been a notable increase in books outlining ways to fully embrace both Christian faith and modern science. Scholars from a variety of academic disciplines in the sciences and humanities have provided fruitful contributions in understanding this complex topic. Dr. Hill's book is a valuable addition to this discussion from the perspective of an ordained pastor who is also a professional philosopher. His provocative thesis―understanding science can strengthen your Christian life―is one that I have experienced both personally as a follower of Jesus and academically as a biologist and theologian. Hill's book is well written and accessible to a wide audience. His many stories are captivating and complement his scholarship. This is a book I would encourage all Christians to add to their library."
