For generations the discoveries of science tended to challenge the very existence of God. Templeton makes a striking argument for just the opposite point of view. He goes to the writings of many of the world's leading scientific thinkers--as diverse in background as Albert Einstein and Teilhard de Chardin--and discovers them in awe of the universe, perceiving the hand of Divine mystery at work.

The humble approach may be a science still in its infancy, but it seeks to develop a way of knowing God appropriate to His greatness and our littleness.
