Summary:
"Over the past few decades, the ever-expanding
scientific
knowledge of the universe and the human condition, combined with the evolution from religion-based to personal morality, has led to a mass crisis of faith. Having left an upbringing in a family of Mennonite preachers to discover his own experience of
God
, Galen Guengerich understands the modern American struggle to combine modern world views with outdated religious dogma. Drawing upon his own experiences, he proposes that just as humanity has had to
evolve
its conception of the universe to coincide with new
scientific
discoveries, we are long overdue in evolving our concept of
God
. In a
scientific
age
, we need an experience of a
God
we can believe in--an experience that grounds our morality, unites us in community, and engages us with a world that still holds more mystery than answers"--Provided by publisher.
