One does have to be a bit careful with McGrath's books, as some are written at a popular level (The Dawkins Delusion?) but some are very academic (The Science of God). This is a text book (published by Wiley-Blackwell), but it is also accessible. McGrath says "To appreciate the complex interaction of the natural sciences and religion, it is necessary to have at least a good general working knowledge of at least one religion and one major natural science, preferably physics or biology". Note, he is mainly talking about Christianity rather than theism in general. My degree is in physics and I have a decent understanding of Christianity, so I found it quite accessible. The book is in four parts:
Part 1 History: Three Landmark Debates. Here he covers Copernicus, Galileo, Newton and Darwin
Part 2 Science and Religion: General Themes. Here he covers topics such as: models of interaction, the explanation of things, proofs for God's existence, verification and falsification, realism and its alternatives, Doctrine of creation, how does God act in the world, the use of models, natural science and natural theology, theoretical anomalies, the development of theory, the interaction of science and religion in other faiths.
Part 3 Science and religion: Contemporary Debates. Does science deny God? Cosmology and the Anthropic Principle, quantum mechanics, evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology, psychology of religion, the cognitive science of religion.
Part 4 Case Studies in Science and Religion. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Thomas F Torrance, Charles A Coulson, Ian G Barbour, Arthur Peacock, Wolfhart Pannenberg, John Polkinghorne, Nancy Murphy, Alister E McGrath and Philip Clayton.
Each chapter has a further reading section. There is a decent index. All in all, it is a good introduction.
NB. the first edition was published in 1999, McGrath says that the 2010 edition is a major revision of the first edition.
BTW. I also found Ian G Barbour to be excellent When Science Meets Religion: Enemies, Strangers, or Partners?
