Description

In these talks on the dialogue between science and Christian faith, Barbara Brown Taylor describes her own journey as a preacher who is trying to learn what the insights of quantum physics, the new biology, and chaos theory can teach the believer. She seeks to discover why scientists sometimes sound like poets and why physics may use the language of imagination, ambiguity, and mystery, just as Scripture does. In explaining why the church should care about the new discoveries and insights of the physical world, Taylor suggests ways we might close the gap between spirit and matter, between Sunday and Monday. For we ourselves live in the midst of "a web of creation," she writes, where nothing is without consequences and things are so interdependent that every day each of us will change the world whether we mean to or not. Taylor has written an excellent introduction to the contemporary debate over the insights of science, the truth of Scripture, and how each might be understood on its own terms. In fresh and exciting ways she invites us to discover these new insights along with her, and gives us a map and a compass to see these wonders for ourselves.
