Description

In these essays on the dialogue between science and Christian faith, Barbara Brown Taylor describes her journey as a preacher learning what the insights of quantum physics, the new biology, and chaos theory can teach a person of faith. She seeks to discover why scientists sound like poets and why physicists use the language of imagination, ambiguity, and mystery also found in scripture.

In explaining why the church must care about the new insights of science, Taylor suggests ways we might close the gap between spirit and matter, between the sacred and the secular. We are living in the middle of a “web of creation” where nothing is without consequence and where all things coexist, even in this sort of way that every of us changes the world, whether we are aware of it or not. In this luminous web faith and science sign up for on a single path, seeking to be told the same truths about life in the universe. “For a moment,” Taylor writes, “we see through a glass darkly. We are living in the illusion that we are all separate ‘I ams.’ When the fog after all clears, we will know there is only One.”
