Scientists of Faith

"Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them." —Psalm 111:2 Can faith in God and belief in science coexist? Could our love of God inspire our love of His works, and could science even help us wonder and love God more? Absolutely! In Scientists of Faith, readers will meet thirty-one brilliant men and women from different countries, time periods, and scientific disciplines who all share one thing in common: an unshakeable faith in God. From Robert T. Bakker, a Christian minister and paleontologist who changed the world's thinking about warm-blooded dinosaurs; to Gregor Mendel, the monk-scientist who discovered the hidden world of genetics; to Andre-Marie Ampere, the eponymous explorer of "amps" and electricity whose faith in God sustained him through family crises; Scientists of Faith reveals that faith in God isn't just compatible with science—it can be a scientist's most powerful force in the journey of discovery.
