And the Trees Clap Their Hands

More about the book

Virginia Owens challenges the long-standing belief that matter is purely mechanical and devoid of spirit, a perspective that has influenced both scientific and Christian thought since Newton. She argues that this view diminishes the rich natural imagery found in Scripture, which invites creation to actively participate in glorifying its creator. The book explores the implications of this mechanical worldview on spirituality and the connection between faith and the natural world.
