James,
I haven't read or seen the book, though there is a review in
Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith Index: Vol. 54:3, September 2002
It's on line at:
http://www.asa3.org/ASA/BookReviews2000-present/9-02.html
I am highly dubious of the Two Book's metaphor. (Why only two?)
"Those who inclined towards developing the idea of neutrality, or
separateness, or autonomy, of science took a position that became epitomized
in the metaphor of the two books, the Book of Scripture and the Book of
Nature, both created by God as manifestations of His omnipotence and
omniscience, but books different in character that had to be kept apart." F
E Manuel _The Religion of Isaac Newton_ (Oxford: Oxford University Press,
1974) pp 27-8
Hardly a position Van Til or Kuyper would endorse!!
Steve
