Commendations

Careful reflection on how faith and science each contribute to our understanding of the world around us and of our place within it is of great value for people of faith. I am very pleased that the Faraday Institute has been able to help churches and individual Christians in this task by developing this fascinating resource.
Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury

The Film

A fine, balanced presentation by thoughtful scientists on why there is no genuine conflict between their work and their religious faith, and why indeed they find that science strengthens and enhances their sense of God's power and glory.
Professor Michael Ruse, Department of Philosophy, Florida State University

This fascinating volume of essays by prominent scientists who are Christians deserves wide circulation. Here are scientists trying to think clearly, humbly, and wisely about the Christian faith. Intuitively one feels that prolonged discussion with these essayists would be a great pleasure, whether or not one always reached consensus. Any thoughtful Christian will delight in the way the grace of God reaches men and women in the scientific disciplines, as in all other domains.
Professor D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Illinois, USA

The level of human insight matching scientific expertise in these chapters is high, and they have left me feeling that here are folk with whom, as a mere theologian, I would love to spend some time. I hope other readers will enjoy this set of testimonies as much as I have done.
Professor J. I. Packer, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada

Just the book to give to anyone who thinks science disproves religion. Powerful testimonies from ten distinguished scientists reveal why their faith in God enhances their research. A very worthwhile read!
Professor Gordan Wenham, Trinity College, Bristol, UK

These short, readable accounts by ten scientists are a pleasure to read and an inspiration to anyone who seeks to integrate Christian belief and science. Each one is a specialist in a different scientific discipline, and they tell very different life stories, yet they all affirm the Christian privilege of scientific discovery and understanding.
Professor Keith Fox, School of Biological Sciences, University of Southampton and Chair of Christians in Science

A well-produced resource about the interface between science and Christianity which opens up complex issues in accessible ways. It will challenge assumptions and provoke questions, but will also dispel some current popular 'myths'. Highly recommended for those who want to better understand science-faith matters and their implications for ethical issues such as the environment and cloning.
Antony Billington, The London Institute for Contemporary Christianity

The main thing to say is that the course, and particularly the DVD, are excellent. There was unanimous enthusiasm for the quality of the presentation, both in video and graphic terms, as well as the quality of the content. It is 'cringe free', which is not true of all material in this area. Speaking personally, but I think the thought would be warmly endorsed by everyone, it is hugely encouraging and helpful to hear people who are first-rate scientists relating their work to their faith in an honest and positive manner. That itself is a very helpful defence against the negative view to which we are often exposed in other places. I think the material also has enormous potential as the basis of a discussion group with both Christians and non-Christians.
Professor Adrian Bowman, Department of Statistics, University of Glasgow

A wonderful resource for churches. It brilliantly demonstrates that science and Christianity are not enemies but perfectly compatible. I commend it wholeheartedly!
Dr Krish Kandiah, The Evangelical Alliance

Test of FAITH is a very good, thought-provoking course which will enable people to get to grips with key issues of science and faith and grow in their understanding of both as a result.
Dr Ernest Lucas, Bristol Baptist College

I thought the documentary was really engaging and was pitched at a good level, to allow for people who have little knowledge of science as well as people who are more scientifically literate. I thought the discursive approach was good. It felt that there was room for people to have different opinions and I think it will foster open discussions, which is so valuable on this topic.
Dr Rebecca McLaughlin, The Veritas Forum

Filled with insight and clear presentation that helps bring clarity in the face of confusion.
Michael Ramsden, The Zacharias Trust

I Think it is excellent and I intend to use it regularly in my own church and apologetic work.
Revd David Robertson, St Peter's Free Church, Dundee

Test of FAITH is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to think through faith in this scientific age.
Dr Russell Rook, Chapel St and Spring Harvest

I think the videos are fantastic: engaging and very well done.
Dr Richard W. Schaeffer, Messiah College, USA

This is the best material I've seen for helping anyone to understand God's world and the gospel in an age of delusion. Connecting with everyone's world, this clear and absolutely fascinating course is so well-designed and easy to run that even a complete arts student would love it! I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Revd Dominic Smart, Church of Scotland Minister, Aberdeen

[I thought] that Christians would inevitably be seen as naïve by serious scientists. I found it hugely encouraging to see Christian scientists who are passionate about their faith.

I feel more confident now with questions and exploration in science and faith.
