| | | From the award-winning NPR religion correspondent comes a fascinating investigation into how science is seeking to answer the question that has puzzled humanity for generations: Can science explain God?
Annotation:
In her first book, NPR correspondent Barbara Bradley Hagerty tries to integrate the increasingly divergent ideas of science and religion. An avowed Christian, Hagerty hopes to find some scientific basis for religious belief, as she investigates the "God gene," explores the neurological foundations of faith, and attends a shamanistic peyote ceremony. While she purports to be functioning as a reporter in pursuit of universal truths, as the book progresses it becomes evident that her own personal spiritual journey takes precedence, which actually increases the reader's connection to her quest for a compromise between science and faith.
| Praise| "The real beauty of this book lies in watching Hagerty gracefully balance her own trust in faith and science and, in the end, come down with one foot planted firmly in both." (starred review) 04/13/2009 |
