There’s some books out there that just aren’t for you. They were written for a different audience. This book has the real problem of resolving talking about mathematics to Christians who do and don’t understand it. So the books content is divided into material from all levels of thought.

The hardest thing about being a Christian mathematician is the indifference Christian’s have for math and how mathematics is indifferent to us. Knowledgeable people say this wasn’t always the way, wise people work where they are. Christians say things about mathematics, that if were repeated for theology, are harmful. This book tried to show where math helps faith and where faith helps math. I am not fully convinced by their claims and their beginner depth doesn’t help an undergraduate student.

If you aren’t a mathematician, I might recommend this book to you. As a Christian, I could recommend this book to you or I could actually teach you substantial mathematics and than we can talk about God.
