"The study of science and religion brings together two of the most significant - and different - forces in human culture. The remarkable surge in books and television documentaries dealing with God and physics, spirituality and science, and the great mysteries of human nature and destiny are a clear sign of the growing interest in this area. Many colleges, seminaries and universities now offer courses dealing with the field of science and religion, which often attract large and appreciative audiences. This book introduces this field, offering a window into some of its more interesting themes and debates"-- Provided by publisher

We live in a culture that doubts everything as a matter of principle. In such an environment, how can even faith be immune to doubt? Can I really trust in the gospel? Does God really love me? Can I really be of any use to God? We are taught to doubt but commanded to believe. Somehow we think that admitting to doubt is tantamount to insulting God. But doubt is not a sign of spiritual weakness--rather it's an indication of spiritual growing pains. Alister McGrath, no stranger to a faith born of doubt, here offers good news to doubters: your faith can grow, and strengthen as it grows. It needs to take root in your experience of God, it needs to take in the nourishment of instruction in the words and ways of God, it needs to be stretched into greater obedience to the commands and calling of God--but it can grow beyond doubt into a thriving relationship.

Set against the backdrop of the Babylonian exile, the narrative follows Alexander as he responds to a call that brings him back to a once-vibrant Eden, now transformed into a desolate and ruined landscape. This return prompts exploration of themes such as loss, redemption, and the impact of time on paradise. The stark contrast between the past and present of Eden serves as a poignant reflection on change and the enduring quest for meaning in a world marked by decay.
