God and Nature Fall 2023
|
|
By Sy Garte and Anikó Albert
The Fall issue of God and Nature presents a group of essays that appear to be linked in various ways. We are also introducing a new feature.
We start with David Owen’s piece on the Trinity and how computer science can help us understand this complex theological concept. Managing Editor Anikó Albert discusses the topic of denialism (of science or faith) using an example from linguistics. Daniel King writes about metals and other elements mentioned in the Bible. John Carpenter presents a scholarly treatise on the question of the timing of creation focusing on the original Hebrew in Genesis, and Paul Spaulding discusses how information, energy, and matter are involved in God’s plan for creation. Finally, Brian Greuel has an exciting announcement that should be of interest to all ASA members as well as other members of the science-and-faith community about the ASA's Affiliation of Christian Biologists.
Our two columnists seem to be in synch for this issue, both dealing with the world of the very small. Cheryl Grey Bostrom gives us a close-up look at a familiar spotted beetle, and Mike Clifford tells us about some really tiny sculptures created by an amazing artist.
Many of the contributors to God and Nature are authors of books, articles, and papers. From here on, we will feature the most recent work of these writers in this Letter, including useful links. For this issue, we have Cheryl Bostrom, who has just re-released her book Sugar Birds, now published by Tyndale Press. Stay tuned for the Spring 2024 issue, when her second book, Leaning on Air, will be featured. Also, Editor-in-Chief Sy Garte’s second book, Science and Faith in Harmony, will be released in January 2024, and is now available for pre-order.
For more information on how contributors to God and Nature can have their recent creative work mentioned here, please see the Author Guidelines.
Meanwhile, enjoy this issue, and consider making your own contributions to this magazine, devoted to the harmony between God and Nature.
