Summary

In a culture so dominated by naturalism--the idea that the material world is all there is--how can we best present our case for a Christian conception of the universe and humanity? The Sacred Cosmos explains the challenges raised by naturalism, arguing that there can be Christian understandings of evolution and other keystones of modern science. Nichols eases the enmity between Christians and science. Nichols eases the enmity between Christians and science by artfully showing how science and theology complement one another and work together to explore all aspects of the world. This book is a wonderful tool for every Christian who struggles to offer an account of his or her faith that can be heard and lived in a secular age.
