Jesus Christ is Lord of creation and Christians are called to  bear witness to his glory and faithfulness in all things. Yet in  recent years, science and Christianity have often been considered  two distinct types of knowledge, each self-contained-the truth of  one doing nothing to the validity of the other. We are now living  in a time of transition from a modern to a postmodern cultural  context, and how exactly Christianity and science will influence  and be influenced by this transition is yet to be seen.  In this transition, the divide that seemed to exist between  these two branches of knowledge appears to be crumbling and an  apparent "war" between science and Christian theology has  started-with many on both sides insisting that a high regard of the  one automatically translates into a low regard for the other. More  and more the developments of science appear to challenge the basic  beliefs of Christianity. Has science gotten off track? Does  Christian theology need to be corrected by science? Is there such a  thing as a Christian science or is science just science? The shift  in our cultural backdrop now provides a valuable opportunity for  Christians to examine these questions and to reassess the way we  have come to frame science and religion issues.  While many books address science and faith  issues, Science and Grace uniquely offers wisdom for  Christians who desire to refine their perspective on science so  that critical analysis of the scientific pronouncements of our day  as well as thankful appreciation for scientific endeavor spring  naturally from their Christian worldview. Authors Tim Morris and  Don Petcher help readers to develop a "theology of science" that  utilizes specifically Christian convictions about God's  faithfulness to his creation. This "theology of science" encourages  Christians to be actively and confidently involved in science  itself as well as in the current discussions about the status of  science in our culture, thus bearing witness to God's reign even in  the natural sciences.
