Autor vo svojej práci tvrdí, že evolučná biológia a teologické presvedčenie sa môžu navzájom obohacovať. Jeho argumenty sú živé a presvedčivé. Podľa Haughta obom týmto súperiacim ideológiám chýba pojem nového, ktoré je nevyhnutnou súčasťou evolúcie a podstatou odhaľovania Božieho tajomstva. Haughtov výklad vzťahu medzi teológiou a evolúciou je prístupný a zároveň podmanivý.

In God After Darwin , John Haught argues that the ongoing debate between Darwinian evolutionists and Christian apologists is fundamentally misdirected: both sides persist in focusing upon an explanation of underlying design and order in the universe. Haught suggests that what is lacking in both of these competing ideologies is the notion of novelty, a necessary component of evolution and the essence of the unfolding of divine Mystery. He argues that Darwin's disturbing picture of life, instead of being hostile to religion - as scientific skeptics and many believers have thought it to be - actually provides a most fertile setting for mature reflection on the idea of God. Solidly grounded in scholarship, Haught's explanation of the relationship between theology and evolution is both accessible and engaging.
