The God Who Would Be Known: Revelations of the Divine in Contemporary Science

By John Marks Templeton

Book Overview

Until recently, scienceOCOs ability to describe and define our universe threatened to make religion obsolete. But the well-received hardcover edition of this book demonstrated that, increasingly, God is being revealed throughascience.Now available in paperback, this positive work is for all who ponder the mystery and wonder of our universeOCoand the God who plans and oversees it. Probing the philosophical and theological impact of scientific discoveries, the authors urge us to adopt an analytical and open posture toward both science and religion. In the spirit of Sir Francis Bacon, this fascinating exploration shows us how OC the book of GodOCOs worksOCO (natural science) can tell us a great deal about OC the book of GodOCOs wordsOCOa(Scripture).OC We began this book with the idea that the God who has made this awesome and wonderful universe is utterly beyond our capacity to measure and yet is also the God who would be known. He has placed remarkable signs in the heavens, on Earth, and in ourselves: signals of transcendence. We conclude that this universe is here by divine plan, and that science itself, for decades a bastion of unbelief, has once again become the source of humankindOCOs assurance of intimate divine concern in its affairs.OCOOCofrom theaauthors"
