Exploring how science, religion, and philosophy meet at the idea of God .

This book examines how evolution can inform our understanding of the Trinity and the nature of divine life, inviting readers to see unity and duality as living tensions in faith.

This edition argues that religious thought has long sought a unifying principle in a pervading spiritual essence, while also acknowledging separate acts of creation and mediation. It considers how early beliefs about duality and personality in the Godhead can be read alongside modern scientific and philosophical ideas, without denying the central mystery of Christ.

Maps three divine activities—creative, mediatorial, and universal presence—as themes that echo the Trinity in human understanding.
Charts the development of religious thought from animist and fetishist roots to more complex, nuanced conceptions of God.
Discusses the humanity of Christ, presenting a view of Jesus’ growth and development as meaningful to faith.
Engages with questions about unity, duality, and the limits of human knowledge in theology.

Ideal for readers seeking a thoughtful bridge between science, philosophy, and Christian belief, this edition offers careful reflection rather than easy answers.
