I would recommend that your student take a look at works by John Haught and Nancy Murphy. Haught is a Catholic theologian who argues that God has revealed himself through evolution. Another good author is Nancy Murphy. She is at Fuller Seminary and writes about theology, science, and ethics. Murphy is certainly a more liberal theologian that one would find in Southern Baptist circles. She spoke on our campus last semester arguing that people have no souls. While I may disagree with Murphy on some issues, in no way would I want to debate her!

I hope I don't open up a can of worms here :-), but I was wondering if any of you could recommend a book (or two or three) for a student who is struggling with reconciling her traditional religious upbringing (in this case, Southern Baptist) with her newly evolving attitudes on topics such as feminism, tolerance of homosexuality, science, academia, etc. I think she would ideally like to find some kind of a middle ground here, some way to remain spiritual but also be true to her new attitudes. Thanks in advance! Cheers, Traci -- \\|||// ( o o ) -------------o00-(_)-00o------------------ Traci A.
