Does the mind blowing scale of the universe out there scare you? Does it confirm in you a conviction that there is no God - at least that such a God if he were to exist is altogether unreachable and unknowable - or does the magnificence and design of the universe point you to a great creator, a living being who created us too, a Loving Heavenly Father to whom we can actually relate? This short book 'Don't put God in a Box' is a personal statement of an ordinary Christian who has also had a scientific education. His main thrust is that scientific truths and matters of religious faith can happily coexist side by side, and how an honest exposure to the grandeur of the universe can enrich the faith of a believer.
Dr. Frank Flynn read astronomy at University College London, and then went on to do his Ph.D. in astronomical optics at Manchester University.
For most of his working life he has been a teacher of mathematics, and for ten years was headmaster of Mildenhall Upper School. For some years he was chief examiner for GCSE astronomy, and regularly taught astronomy to school students and adult groups. He now words for the Cambridge University Institute of Continuing Education as a part time tutor in astronomy, giving courses in different branches of astronomy to the general public.
Frank Flynn is a committed Christian and passionately believes a scientific view of the universe can be happily harmonised with the Christian faith.
