A Boy-Turned-Scientist Journeys from Fundamentalism to Faith

An earnest young boy who loves nature grows up the son of a fundamentalist pastor. He goes to college, trains as a biologist, and becomes a successful university professor. In the process he finds some of the religious beliefs that carried him through childhood and adolescence indefensible in the face of evidence from biology and geology–and even from Scripture itself. What’s he to do? This is the journey of a boy-turned-scientist who finds a path away from 'the idols of fundamentalism’ and toward a universe rich with process, intrigue, and mystery. Along the way, he discovers a faith consistent with physical reality, one open to beauty, kindness, and hope.
