There seem to be so many great Christian minds of the past such as Deitrich Bonhoeffer, C.S. Lewis, and others from past generations that accepted evolution.

Now as a TE and evangelical (though I go by protestant now since my theological views differ), I find that so many great evangelical apologists impair their witness by standing by either Creationism or I.D. and arguing the point along with their witness.

Answeringinfidels.com is an excellent case in point. A great ministry, unfortunately forces itself to push ID. Also Lee Strobel.

Lately I've been looking at the Catholic and Anglican scholars who seem to have a more well rounded views concerning this issue and others. I do however, understand that one can also separate the orign views of some scholars and still gain a lot from their other work.

So, my question is: are there any great Christian scholars with TE views? Websites? Books?

Professor Sam Berry is a prominent Christian biologist who has written a number of books about Christianity and evolution. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.J._Berry

Henri Blocher is a theologian who has written probably the best Genesis commentary this century (oops, last century) which also deals with the scientific issues, called "In the Beginning".

See this link for a list of prominent Christians who reject YECism:

As far as I know, J.I Packer and John Stott are open to theistic evolution. These men are both staunch theological conservatives.

I suppose the current Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Pope, are also worth a mention (but who really gives a crap what they think, right? ^_^).
