Re: [asa] Public Forum on Evolution and Christianity

Bill -

I think I'll leave it to others to respond to your 1st request - at least
till I see something I disagree with strongly! But for the 2d I'd suggest
Ted Peters and Martinez Hewlett, _Evolution from Creation to New Creation_
(Abingdon, 2003). It is not "unbiased" in the sense of taking no position -
they're clear about their preference for a version of "theistic evolution"
(a term they use for it). But the book does, I think, provide a fair survey
of a wide range of views.
