Book Synopsis
As Christians engage controversial cultural issues, we must remember that 'all things hold together in Christ' (Col. 1:17)--even when it comes to science and faith. In this anthology, top Christian thinkers--including Robert Barron, Timothy George, Stanley Hauerwas, Alasdair MacIntyre, Mark Noll, and N. T. Wright--invite us to find resources for faithful, creative thinking in the riches of the church''s theological heritage and its worship traditions.
