Faith across the Multiverse
Ever thought "I'm willing to give the Bible a try, but I think it would make more sense if someone explained it in terms of molecular biology and X-Men comics"? Then do I have the book for you — Faith across the Multiverse: Parables from Modern Science. (Order from Hendrickson, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your local book store.)
Comics and movies dramatize the abstract ideas of math and science in visually compelling stories. And those scientific ideas illustrate features of God's character, if he did indeed create the world we study with science. Putting them all together makes sense to me, and I hope it will help you too. Maybe grace and faith will be more satisfying with a little math. Maybe computer science will be more accessible with the help of Squirrel Girl.
Praise for Faith across the Multiverse
"It's hard to write a clear and compelling book on popular science. It's also hard to write a clear and compelling book on faith. Andy Walsh has not only succeeded in combining both, but has made it accessible, witty and thought-provoking in the process."
-Al Kennedy, co-host, House to Astonish podcast
"Every once in a while, a book comes along that breaks out of all categories. It just doesn't fit. It makes you laugh and argue and wonder and worship. The writing is clever, generating chuckles on a regular basis. The cultural and theological references sprinkled throughout excite. And the insights are so frequent you wonder how any one person could combine so many great ideas in such creative ways! Andy Walsh's book-the book you're holding right now-is a category breaker. I heartily recommend it!"
-Thomas Jay Oord, author of The Uncontrolling Love of God
"Andy Walsh is an expert at communicating across multiple disciplines. By combining images from science, faith and popular culture, he has done a brilliant job of bringing to life and shedding light on some notoriously difficult concepts."
-Barry Luokkala, Teaching Professor of Physics, Carnegie Mellon University
