Beskrivning
In what he anticipates will be his final book, respected scientist and theologian Professor Alister McGrath shares the story of a life spent in pursuit of truth: first through the discipline of science, then in tandem with the Christian faith he found as a young man. In Through a Glass Darkly Professor McGrath shares at length and for the first time how exactly he moved from atheism to faith while studying natural sciences at Oxford University, and how each discipline has informed the other throughout his life. This is a rich, inspiring read from one of today's greatest public theologians.

Mer om författaren

Alister McGrath is the Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at Oxford University, and Fellow of Harris Manchester College, Oxford. After initial academic work in the natural sciences, Alister turned to the study of theology and intellectual history, while occasionally becoming engaged in broader cultural debates about the rationality and relevance of the Christian faith. He is the author of many academic and theological works, as well as the bestselling The Dawkins Delusion and, most recently, his acclaimed C. S. Lewis - A Life.

Recensioner i media

Alister McGrath has written an intellectual thriller that documents his transition from a nature-loving schoolboyMarxist to the Oxford Professor of Science and Religion. The detail is fascinating: discovering that what once wascertain crumbled, probing the methods and limits of science and finding in literature, historical, philosophical and imaginative, a pathway from the shadows of Plato's cave to an epiphany of understanding in the sunlit uplands, similar tothat of C.S. Lewis before him. Realising not only that science and religion give different but complementary maps of theworld, but also that Christianity offers the coherent big-picture framework for which his mind and heart had beenquesting. This is a must read for all those interested in the life of the mind and the science-religion debate. I could notput it down. You will not be able to either.
