Summary
"If faith is to survive in a secular culture, Kirschner suggests, it must find its way in hard and stony territory, where science prevails and religion is equated with delusion. For many readers, the scientific answers have become too complex, and the religious answers too simple. Divine Things takes an angle of vision that beholds each of these worlds, and learns from them both."--Jacket.
