Description
This groundbreaking book lays a theistic foundation for the study of mathematics, exploring everything from simple concepts such as addition and subtraction to more complex topics such as set theory and the nature of infinity.
"Redeeming Mathematics is a valuable addition the growing literature on the relationship between mathematics and Christian belief. Poythress's treatment of three distinct dimensions of mathematics-as transcendent abstract truths, as part of the physical world, and as comprehensible to human beings-is a unique and helpful addition to the conversation on this relationship. The book is accessible to non-specialists, but even those who are well-versed in these matters will find much to interest and challenge them." -James Bradley, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, Calvin College; author, Mathematics Through the Eyes of Faith; Editor, Journal of the Association of Christians in the Mathematical Sciences
