'Phillip Johnson could not be boring even if he tried. He is one of the most provocative and independent Christian thinkers of our day. Argue with him, admire him, disagree with him - but read him!' That is Don Carson's view of the author of this little book of essays.
Phillip Johnson is an American lawyer, who since 1988 has spent much time re-searching and challenging the Darwinian theory of evolution. Perhaps his best known book is Darwin on Trial. This present slim volume falls into two sections. There are nine essays about Darwinists and Darwinism, followed by more general essays, mostly book reviews on aspects of law and culture.
