Summary

Rigid adherence to scientism - as opposed to a healthy respect for science - is all too prevalent in our world today. Rather than leading to a deeper understanding of our universe, this worldview actually undermines real science and marginalizes morality and religion. 

In this book, celebrated philosopher J. P. Moreland exposes the self-defeating nature of scientism and equips us to recognize scientism's harmful presence in different aspects of culture, emboldening our witness to biblical Christianity and arming us with strategies for the integration of faith and science - the only feasible path to genuine knowledge.

Clearly argued and well read

Moreland argues his case very clearly and accessibly for the intelligent layman. Crucial to his argument is the ongoing centrality of philosophy to the scientific enterprise and the dependence of the latter upon the former. Even for those who resist Christian theism as the most powerful or plausible philosophical foundation for ‘natural’ science (and the purpose of this book is not a full fledged defense of theism), I hope that any honest listener of this book will acknowledge that the scientistic arguments often made in the name of science are actually arguments about the philosophy of science, and while they may be fashionable, they are not well-founded and are in many cases self-refuting.
