"A Reckless God: Currents and Challenges in the Christian Conversation with Science"

This book, edited by ISCAST Executive Director Chris Mulherin, Roland Ashby, John Pilbrow and Stephen Ames, is the first in the new "ISCAST Nexus" series. The book includes contributions by Alister McGrath, Jennifer Wiseman, Rodney Holder, Tom McLeish, Jürgen Moltmann and others. It includes responses to Richard Dawkins, Stephen Fry, Lawrence Krauss and Phillip Adams. FROM THE BACK COVER What sort of God would create such an unimaginably vast and beautiful universe? What sort of God would create humanity with such extraordinary power of creation and destruction? What sort of God would create a world full of life yet plagued by earthquakes and genetic disorders? In the words of one of this book’s authors, the Christian God is the loving, “reckless” God who, like the devoted father of the prodigal, risks himself for the sake of relationship. This book ponders the wonders of a universe that has given birth to life—and the challenges facing human beings made in the image of a “reckless” God. "This impressive collection shows that, far from there being a conflict between science and Christian faith, the interaction furnishes fruitful dialogue and mutual enrichment." — Rodney Holder, Former Course Director, Faraday Institute for Science & Religion, Cambridge University
