Test of Faith: Spiritual Journeys with Scientists

Description

Is God a delusion?

Are science and Christian faith incompatible?

Ten scientists tell their stories.

There is a popular myth at large in both modern society and in many churches. According to this myth science and Christianity have been engaged in a long battle over the centuries.

For many secularists this means that we must embrace science and reject religion, whilst for some Christians it means the exact opposite.

But are science and Christian faith really in a conflict?

In this book ten respected scientists share their life stories and their reflections on science and faith.

What led them to become scientists?
Why did they embrace Christianity?
And how do they relate their religious beliefs to the science that they do in the lab?

The stories that they tell help us to see that when it comes to answering some of life's big questions we do well to listen for the insights from both science and faith.
