Growing up in a world shaped by science and technology, young people may easily lose sight of God. Or, as this book shows, their "eyes of the heart" can become opened like never before. With wit and insight, Russell Haitch offers a model for unifying faith and science that does not compromise either good science or Christian convictions. In Eyes of the Heart: Seeing God in an Age of Science, Haitch puts this model to the acid test by showing how it resolves long-standing (and still heated) issues of creation and evolution. Compelling stories and clear explanations make this book appealing to a wide audience, including parents, youth workers, and young people themselves. The ideas are deep--Haitch covers a lot of ground, from Einstein and Hawking to Augustine and Hildegard of Bingen. But the book's arguments are easy to follow, and its bite-size chapters are enjoyable to read.
Russell Haitch is professor of theology and human science at Bethany Theological Seminary in Richmond, Indiana. His written work has appeared in a wide variety of journals, and his book on baptism (From Exorcism to Ecstasy) is a well-regarded graduate school text. Ordained in the United Methodist Church, he has served as pastor and youth pastor for multiethnic congregations.
