A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
A physicist reads science as a longstanding human vocation of lament, imagination, and wisdom, including sustained engagement with Job.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It expands the science-and-faith conversation beyond competing conclusions about origins. The book helps travelers ask what kind of human activity science is and how disciplined questioning can belong within a life of faith.
Good starting place if…
You want a Christian account of science as a long human vocation of curiosity, imagination, lament, and wisdom—not merely a conflict to settle.
Know before you begin…
McLeish writes as an Anglican physicist and reads biblical wisdom texts, especially Job, alongside the history and practice of science. This is theological interpretation of scientific vocation, not evidence that particular doctrines can be scientifically demonstrated.
