Why Science and Faith Need Each Other - Eight Shared Values That Move Us beyond Fear, Paperback / softback Book

Why Science and Faith Need Each Other - Eight Shared Values That Move Us beyond Fear Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Science and faith are often seen as being in opposition.

In this book, award-winning sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund questions this assumption based on research she has conducted over the past fifteen years.

She highlights the ways these two spheres point to universal human values, showing readers they don't have to choose between science and Christianity. Breathing fresh air into debates that have consisted of more opinions than data, Ecklund offers insights uncovered by her research and shares her own story of personal challenges and lessons.

In the areas most rife with conflict--the origins of the universe, evolution, climate change, and genetic technology--readers will find fascinating points of convergence in eight virtues of human existence: curiosity, doubt, humility, creativity, healing, awe, shalom, and gratitude.

The book includes discussion questions for group use and to help pastors, small group leaders, and congregants broach controversial topics and bridge the science-faith divide.
