Description

In this text, Keith Ward looks at what might be called a mainstream Christian worldview, and examines how it could reasonably and non-hypocritically be interpreted given a full aceptance of scientific beliefs, for the beginning of a new millennium. Ward also explores the compatability between the "God of physics", the cause of the universe, and the God of worship and prayer, and the relationship between Christianity and the other world faiths.
