Redeeming Science: A God-Centered Approach

Redeeming Scienceattempts to kindle our appreciation for science as it ought to be-science that could serve as a path for praising God and serving fellow human beings.

A Christian worldview restores a true response to science, where we praise the God who created nature and cares for it.
