Any good books on Theistic Evolution?

Hello,

I am a Orthodox Christian who believes in Theistic Evolution. However, I have never read any book geared towards defending the Scientific theory of Evolution from a Christian perspective, or from a non-Christian perspective, and debunking common YEC remarks. Any help?

There are many good books about evolutionary creationism out there. Here's a start:

I found Perspectives on an Evolving Creation to be excellent. It's the most comprehensive book on the subject I've seen. (It deals more with compatibility between orthodox Christian views and evolution though.)

It actually doesn't really go into the particulars of evolution but it addresses the history of the reception (and rejection) of evolution within the Church in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It's particularly good about addressing the main competing natural theologies and how they related to evolution. It's a good springboard (source-wise) and you'll probably get through it in a couple of afternoons.
