<br/><br/> "Giberson calls for a renewed conversation between science and Christianity, and for more open engagement with new scientific discoveries, even when they threaten central doctrines." "As Giberson argues, [Christians] should follow in the once robust tradition of exploring science openly within the broad contours of Christian belief."--Jacket.
