Christians, Jews, and Muslims believe that the cosmos is profoundly meaningful and that everything in it has its source in God. How does our faith relate to modern developments in science? George V. Coyne, S.J. and Alessandro Omizzolo, leading scientists at the Vatican observatory, examine the history of religious thought about the cosmos in Western culture—from beliefs held in ancient Egypt to the modern conception of the expanding universe. An important resource, presented in non-technical language, for those who sense the congruity between spirit and science.
