About the Science and the Theology of Wonder course
Wonder, Wisdom, and Worship
How can the science and Christian theology move beyond the western cultural model of conflict without engaging in conflict itself?
In a tradition from the pages of scripture through the lives of scientific pioneers to the contemporary worship scene, David Wilkinson explores modes of conversation which enrich both science and theology.
