Description

Wrestling Brothers takes you into the heart of rarely publicized discussions among religious thinkers who want to integrate science into their worldview. This book is unique in the way it blends history, theology, psychology, and spirituality. Here you will learn: - Where the science vs. religion "warfare" myth originated. - What was the most troublesome issue about evolution behind the Scopes "Monkey" trial. (It wasn't about reading the Bible literally.) - The dirty secret about evolution. (It's not about our animal ancestry.) - How modern pesticides led to the re-discovery of two medieval Christian thinkers. - How religion can benefit from recovering a cosmic perspective drawing upon science. Wrestling Brothers reveals the possibilities and challenges of making faith-traditions more relevant in our scientific age. Thoroughly researched and documented, yet highly readable, it will provide enlightenment to students, teachers, religious leaders, laypeople - and even those who might have given up on religion. The 2019 Expanded Edition even includes a 12-page Discussion Aid.
