God, Faith and the New Millennium: Christian Belief In An Age Of Science

by KeithWard (Author)

Synopsis

Does being a Christian in the modern scientific age require intellectual suicide? What future for Christianity in the Third Millennium?

In God, Faith and the New Millennium Keith Ward has produced a powerful and upbeat study of Christian belief that tackles questions such as these head on. In what he describes as a summary of his life's work on Christianity, religion and science, Ward's new and positive interpretation presents a Christian faith in harmony with the scientific worldview while remaining true to its traditions.

This is a cutting-edge study that will provoke and inspire every Christian and anyone interested in the debate on the role of faith in the modern world. Through his examination of key issues such as Creation, evolution and the divine purpose, Ward demonstrates that there is a `natural fit' between the scientific worldview and mainstream Christian beliefs - Christian faith gives insight into the meaning and purpose of the universe, the physical structure of which modern science has marvellously discovered.
