Brown embarks on an unprecedented tour of the various creation traditions of Scripture, seven total, in conversation with the natural sciences. The result is a groundbreaking work that recaptures the genuine awe that drives the best of scientific and theological inquiry, the wonder that unites the psalmist and the scientist. What a pleasure to read a book this calm and commanding in place of the usual hysterics about faith and science. It ends with the only call that makes sense in this moment from either source of human wisdom: a call for self-restraint, self-mastery, before we overwhelm the world of beauty and meaning into which we were born.
