Synopsis

Rather than discord between science and Christian faith, there is a harmony as grand as any choral masterpiece

The idea that Christianity and science are inextricably in conflict is a relatively recent conception. However, with each new scientific discovery and scriptural insight, it's an idea that's being proved to be insupportable.

Sy Garte has immersed himself in both science and faith and knows they work beautifully together to sing of the greatness of God. Now this respected scientist shares how God's world (nature and science) and God's word (made flesh in Christ) are bound together in loving harmony.

In Science and Faith in Harmony, Garte examines modern scientific concepts and what they can teach us about theological truths, such as the dual nature of Christ. He explores the ways in which the terminology and language of science and faith consistently match each other. Despite his deep dives into theology and science, Garte does not get overly technical in his writing. Instead, he is personal and passionate, speaking directly to listeners with a tone of joy and wonder, inviting them to join the chorus of praise to the Lord.

Goodreads review by Sheila on March 08, 2024

If you believe all scientists are soulless Godless atheists, this might not be the book for you – there again, it might be just perfect. And if you believe all Christians are anti-science judgementalists, this might be perfect too. Scientist Sy Garte’s faith sings through this collection of short es......more

Goodreads review by Frank on October 18, 2024

This is a lovely book, where the author writes very short “chapters” on various topics that combine his Christian faith with his scientific profession. As a previous atheist (read about his change of perspective in his earlier book), his insights are useful and balanced. I thought that most of the t......more
