After working as a botanist and natural historian for more than 25 years, walking the countryside had almost imperceptibly turned into a disheartening endeavour for Pete Stroh. He found himself resting at viewpoints and contemplating how much better it would be if a pasture had not been drenched with herbicide, if a woodland had not been planted up with regimented lines of conifer crops, if an arable field could every so often not be ploughed right up to the bloody roots of the hedgerowSo he decided that in writing this book, he would wander within the boundaries of the parish where he lives, record weekly what he actually saw, and restrict grumblings to a minimum, to observe rather than judge. This, he writes, took a bit of getting used to but proved ultimately to be a liberating and unexpected experience.The result is this uplifting and positive book showing the surprising abundance of nature, given half a chance.

Gods Providential Work in Creation Before Life Began God has been present and active in creation from the moment he created it ex nihilo. Few Christians would question this claim, but its implications for ongoing theologyand science dialogues have not been fully explored. In this pathbreaking and field-advancing work, Ross Hastings brings his expertise in both scientific and theological disciplines to bear on the topic of divine providence in chemicalevolution. Based on the latest research in the developing field of chemical evolution and the work of theological giants such as Karl Barth, Hastings shows how God may have been providentially and non-competitively at work in the process by which simple prebiotic molecules gave rise to the complex molecules in the first living organisms. In God and Molecules, Hastings provides cutting-edge theological engagement with the developing scientific field of chemical evolution, advances the discussion in theology and science with this new integrative work, and offers a holistic alternative for thinking about chemical evolution that overcomes the binary of theology versus science. God and Molecules pushes toward new frontiers in theology and science and casts a compelling, integrative, and ultimately healing vision for how God has been lovingly involved in the developmental process of the earliest life on earth.

Bringing Integrity to the Stories Numbers Tell When we tell stories with numbers, we depend on the field of statisticsbut how do we know that those stories are true? Almost everything in life is connected to data, and thatdata can help us make sense of truth in a world that feels increasingly challenging to navigate as Christians. But in a world where we are told to "do our own research," it can be nearly impossible to know whether were just gravitating toward stories that confirm our own untested biases, or whether were analyzing the data in a way that is illuminating truth. Exploring a range of contemporary topics, professor of statistics Jason Wilson shows both non-experts and experts alike that statistics has something to say when it relates to the polarizing issues that we face today. Exploring topics such as gambling, Covid, and media bias, Wilson shows that the ways we collect, organize, analyze, and interpret data have something to say in conversation with the Christian faith. In Statistics and Faith, youll find examinations of contemporary issues using statistical concepts, tools, and theories; case studies from history that show how statistics can be used in ways that are helpful or harmful; application chapters based on over fifteen years of research; and reflection questions to help you explore how to do statistics with integrity. This book is ideal for professors seeking to help students explore the history and application of statistics from a Christian worldview as well as for Christians who are curious about how we understand truth through numbers. It serves as an idealsupplementary text for statistics courses and other disciplines that incorporate statistical methods, and it offers an insightful perspective on how statistics in conversation with Christian faith can speak to todays polarizing issues, empowering readers to discern truth through data in a noisy world.
