God, Chance And Purpose by David J. Bartholomew
Can God Have It Both Ways?
A thoughtful exploration of how modern ideas about probability affect questions of design, causation and meaning, arguing that chance and divine purpose need not be opposed. The book surveys historical and philosophical perspectives on randomness, clarifies key probabilistic concepts and common misconceptions, and examines scientific claims—especially from evolutionary biology—that are often taken to eliminate teleology. Throughout it considers theodicy, moral responsibility and theological interpretation, contending that recognizing the role of chance can coexist with, and even illuminate, a purposive view of the world.
