In Faith and Science: A Primer for a Hypernatural World, Kenneth Keathley argues that, rather than acting as opposing forces, scientific inquiry and the Christian faith go hand-in-hand. In his mission to offer a fully integrated theology of science, Keathley begins with the Lordship of Christ and the sufficiency of Scripture. He characterizes the study of science as a providential gift and a worthy vocation with Christian origins. Keathley then examines the twin challenges of scientism and fideism, observing their deficiencies as comprehensive worldviews. After defending Galileo as a scientist-theologian, Keathley offers readers a model for how to integrate their Christian faith with their scientific pursuits. Faith and Science provides a ready primer for students and everyday Christians to challenge their preconceptions about faith and science and to develop a more robust worldview to guide their examinations of our hypernatural world. The Christ in Everything series exists to demonstrate how Christ is connected to all of life. The primers in this series serve as introductions to important cultural topics, including science, freedom, politics, beauty, and the nature of truth. Each book offers a biblical and theological framework from which to view and approach the topic at hand, followed by examples for how to walk in the way of Jesus in that cultural domain.
