Included are the texts of the major papers presented at the conference. These are: (1) "Science and Other Disciplines" (Harold I. Brown); (2) "Is Scientific Evidence Relevant to Justifying Religious Claims?" (Sherman P. Kanagy, II); (3) "Religion and Science: Fact and Faith" (John W. Klotz); (4) "Conflict, Compartmentalization, and Complementarity: Three Models for Understanding the Relationship between Science and Religion" (Sara Joan Miles); and (5) "Science in Defense of Whose God?"
