“The culture wars between conservative and  liberal religious groups needs healing so that we can all live in peace and without fear. I see this book as a significant contribution to the bridging of such differences. In a sense, Michael Dowd has a foot in both worlds. As such he is uniquely suited to offer us this wonderful perspective on how to live a righteous life. He shows us that the evolutionary perspective can be helpful to any human being seeking to live in integrity. ”
