Synopsis

A Big History book presenting perspectives that have helped thousands of Christians deepen their understanding of nature.

Accessible and enlightening, the book explores nature in a way that accommodates both scientific and religious viewpoints. Topics include answers to these questions:

• How do we identify truth, and are scientific discoveries true?
• What produced the order we see in nature?
• How do atoms, stars, and planets form, and how did the Universe develop?
• How was Earth organized, and how did it become habitable?
• What made organisms the way they are, and how do bodies and species form?

Devoted Christians, the authors are professors of geology, physics, and biology with more than a century of combined experience helping Christians learn about the Universe, Earth, and Life.

This is a great book for people of faith who are striving to understand scientific discoveries.
