This compilation of essays invites God's Spirit to change readers through the great works of history and literature alongside developments in science, psychology, and economics alongside an intense engagement with the Scriptures.

This inaugural volume of the Frameworks: Interdisciplinary Studies for Faith and Learning series was compiled in honor of Jim and Twila Edwards, two long-time faculty of Evangel. 

Multiple formats are available through Amazon and Pickwick Publications.

Are some people destined to sin because of biological tendencies? Learn about this important topic from Christ-following scientists and theologians.

Culture increasingly sees a connection between biology and sin. But what does the Bible really say? What does science actually suggest? How should we respond? You're invited to explore these questions and more with Christian scientists and theologians at the 2016 Faith & Science Conference, September 23-24 at Evangel University. Reserve your spot today.
