“For a long time, theology, philosophy, and science searched for different truths, as if there were not one truth, a single harmony, a cosmic liturgy in the universe. This book eloquently demonstrates that Christ may be discerned and deciphered in many variations of intonation, articulation, and exploration of the created order.” -- JOHN CHRYSSAVGIS, theological advisor to the Ecumenical Patriarch
“If colliding hydrogen atoms produce rock-liquefying energy, what happens when creator fuses with creature? “The Word became flesh and dwelt in our midst.” God says yes to creation and its restoration. This dazzling collection is light and heat. Discover why the Christ matters not just for religion or theology but for all things.” -- MATTHEW W. BATES, associate professor of theology, Quincy University, and author of The Birth of the Trinity
“In the large and fascinating global conversation between sciences and religions, the cutting edge is often about specific doctrines or particular sciences. This outstanding anthology of experts in philosophy, theology, and the sciences turns their minds and faith to Jesus and the doctrine of Christ. The result is an outstanding collection that anyone interested in either Christology or religion-and-science will learn from and enjoy. I found the book engrossing.” -- ALAN G. PADGETT, professor of systematic theology, Luther Seminary
“The delicate, sometimes tense conversations that go on between science and Christianity can be fascinating and creative, and sometimes dangerous and destructive. By bringing Christ to the centre of the conversations around creation, this book opens up fresh, challenging, and profound new perspectives. Focusing on Jesus creates vital theological space for reimagining creation and our place within it. This volume has transformative value for those who take the time to dwell within its message.” -- JOHN SWINTON, chair in divinity and religious studies, University of Aberdeen
“The person of Jesus Christ is patently of first importance for Christian faith yet hardly features in much of the current science-religion dialogue. This admirable and wide-ranging collection of essays reverses that neglect by bringing Christology to the heart of the discussion.” -- RODNEY HOLDER, emeritus course director, Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, and fellow commoner, St. Edmunds College, Cambridge
“This ground-breaking collection of essays by eminent scholars from theology, philosophy, and science will transform discussions of science and faith by recognizing the central role of the person of Jesus Christ, since it is he who creates a union between the Creator and creation.” -- ERIC PRIEST, FRS, emeritus professor of mathematics, University of St. Andrews
