This book is a good place to begin research of the topic of scientists of faith. The religious views of each scientist are summerized over several pages. The writing style is clear and concise. There are references given for more detailed information. Overall, it is an interesting read.

This is the benchmark text I used to affirm the origins of the scientific conglomerate as men of FAITH. These researchers were the men who discovered gas law, thermodynamics, the laws of gravity, and many others. One might be surprised that these are the very scientists my generation studied some 50 years ago, as Christian men, but who appear as cold, pragmatic, calculating men, in the science texts, today. The truth is revealed, the challenges, dire efforts sacrificing much to gain understanding of what we now utilize as rudiments of our scientific structure. Not enough of the personalities of these men is exposed in the texts of today, where "Scientists of Faith" personalizes these men. Their struggles as Christians investigating God's mysterious creation are explained as well as their personal hurdles. They were, after all, people, first, Christians second, and sceintists, third.
