The author unpacks this over six chapters titled: The Universe and Life on Planet Earth, Christian Faith and Science, God’s Presence in Creation, Children of the Universe, On being a Christan and the Universal Christ.  Introducing the book, he explains that for some time he has taken an interest in what science has been saying about the universe and life on planet earth, following keenly the new developments in Christian spirituality which are influenced by the latest scientific discoveries.

Throughout the book he invites readers into further reflection on the deep connections between the discoveries of modern science and the wisdom of Christian faith. Rooted in a long personal interest in the unfolding story of the universe and life on Earth, the book listens attentively to what science is revealing today and to how Christian spirituality is being renewed in response. He points in a particular way to Pope Francis’s Encyclical Laudato Si’ as a living example of this dialogue, showing how scientific insight can be woven into both a spiritual vision and practical response that calls us closer to reverence, have gratitude, and take more care for our common home.
