Darwin and God sells out in 24 hours

Darwin and God sells out in 24 hours

SPCK, the publishers of Darwin and God by Theos Director of Studies Nick Spencer, were forced to undertake an emergency reprint of the book over the weekend due to selling out only 24 hours after its publication.

The popularity of the book has outstripped expectations, highlighting the ongoing public interest that exists in issues to do with science and religion. 

The celebrations of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth on 12 February have placed the scientist firmly in the public's imagination.

The book is the first full length account of Darwin's religious beliefs to be published in the UK. It draws on Darwin's autobiography, manuscripts, notebooks and letters - as well as his world-famous publications - in exploring Darwin's view of design, purpose, morality, the universe and the human mind.
