      abstract = {A remarkably helpful and important intervention in the  long-standing debates about arguments from design, natural  theology, and the impact of evolutionary theory on  Christian theology and apologetics. Alister E. McGrath,  Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion,  University of Oxford, UK Kojonen offer his readers an  informed, nuanced, scholarly, cool, philosophically and  scientifically current reflection on the question of what  the concepts of design and purpose might mean within  evolutionary theoryIt is a welcome and important  contribution. Tom McLeish FRS, Professor of Natural  Philosophy, Department of Physics, University of York, UK  This book offers a well-researched, lucid, carefully  argued, and well-balanced assessment of whether  evolutionary theory is compatible with holding that  biological teleology provides evidence of a Creator. It is  an essential reading for anyone interested in the  relationship between science, philosophy, and religion.  Andrew T. Loke, Associate Professor, Department of Religion  and Philosophy, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong It  shows considerable courage to re-invoke the term design in  relation to the theology of biology. ... So Kojonen  deserves great credit for re-evaluating the idea of divine  design in dialogue with the whole range of contemporary  literature. Christopher Southgate, Professor of Christian  Theodicy, University of Exeter, UK This book challenges the  widespread assumption of the incompatibility of evolution  and the biological design argument. Kojonen analyzes the  traditional arguments for incompatibility, and argues for  salvaging the idea of design in a way that is fully  compatible with evolutionary biology. Relating current  views to their intellectual history, Kojonen steers a  course that avoids common pitfalls such as the problems of  the God of the gaps, the problem of natural evil, and the  traditional Humean and Darwinian critiques. The resulting  deconstruction of the opposition between evolution and  design has the potential to transform this important  debate.},
