Description:

Owen Gingerich believes in a universe of intention and purpose. We can at least conjecture that we are part of that purpose and have enough freedom that conscience and responsibility may be part of the mix. Taking Johannes Kepler as his guide, Gingerich argues that an individual can be both a creative scientist and a believer in divine design; that indeed the very motivation for scientific research can derive from a desire to trace God's handiwork. In this book, he contemplates a universe where God plays an interactive role, unnoticed yet not excluded by science. Hardcover, 139 pp, 2006
