Weve all heard the stereotypesthat all scientists are hardcore atheists or that all Christians reject science. But what do people actually think and feel about science and faith? Ecklunds world-class research in this area sheds light on the views of scientists and people of faith.
Deborah Haarsma , astronomer; president of BioLogos
In her excellent and insightful book, Ecklund brings a desperately needed breath of grace-filled air to the suffocating and suspicious atmosphere polluting many faith communities and many science communities. In an increasingly polarized culture, few things are more important than building epistemic bridges of humility, respect, and curiosity. I wish every one of my parishioners would read this book.
Tom Nelson , senior pastor, Christ Community Church; president, Made to Flourish
The contemporary church is fighting against so much today, and in the process we are losing one of the most profound gifts the church uniquely offers the world: community. In chapter 4, an interview subject named Jill had been told that her own unique gifts of wonder and curiosity were not valued. In reality they are desperately needed; without these gifts the Christian world struggles to grasp the transformational beauty that is the mystery of the kingdom of God. A thoughtful and spirited treatise.
Juanita Rasmus , senior pastor, St. Johns Church, Houston, Texas; author of Learning to Be
Through the lens of sociological data and personal experience, Ecklund paints a thought-provoking and compelling picture of how both science and Christian faith, properly understood, help drive out fear of the unknown and cultivate shared virtues, including humility, intellectual curiosity, and even doubt. Ecklunds voice is refreshingly honest.
Praveen Sethupathy , Center for Vertebrate Genomics, Cornell University
Ecklund helps us see how faith and science are not opposing forces. When understood and embraced, they can in fact reinforce and strengthen ones faith and scholarship. Ecklunds contagious hope for the people of God to see the breadth and depth of Gods glory made plain to us through the marvels of science is inspiring.

From Fear to Understanding
T HE GAME IS OVER . Come out now! Anika yells to her friend. Come out now, or my mom will give you a spanking! There is no truth behind her threat, yet my eight-year-old daughter delivers it with incredible conviction. It has its origin in an incident that occurred several years earlier.
Anika was three years old and I was picking her up from day care. That day, I was tired from work and parenting solo while my husband was away. I parked, found Anika, and started to slowly lead her to the car. She begged to stay a few more minutes to play with her friends. I acquiesced.
They started a game of hide-and-seek, and I turned away for a minute to talk with another parent. Daylight was starting to fade, and I expected that at any moment Anika would sidle up to me and wrap her arms around my leg. After a few minutes, when that hadnt happened, I started to look around. Anika, its time to go, I called out. No response. One by one, the parents and children got into their cars and drove away. I called again, Anika, I really mean it; its time to go! Still nothing. I picked up my bag and walked over to where she and her friends had been playing, but I did not see anyone. Anika! Where are you? I said, this time louder and with more urgency. A friend left her child buckled in the car and came to help me look. We did not see any movement near the bushes where the children had been playing. Full-fledged anxiety had set in and my heart was beating more quickly. The day cares associate director assured me she hadnt seen any children come inside the building. I kept yelling out as my heart rate continued to rise. Anika, Anika! Where are you?! I was now panicking. There were no sounds except my own voice.
