Keith Ward -- University of Oxford "An original and invaluable contribution to the debate on evolution and design, balancing process insights with state-of-the-art scientific contributions." Niels Henrik Gregersen -- University of Copenhagen "This is both a primer in current philosophy of evolutionary biology and a new proposal for integrating evolution and religious thinking. Cobb and company listen to the best representatives of neo-Darwinism and analyze the rich tapestry of supplementary theories before they argue for the creative role of biological agency in evolution.

[It] deserves a wide readership."
