God and the History of the Universe

Science & Faith

“Postmodernity denies any possibility of a grand narrative. That judgment is premised on the cognitive and spiritual experience of fracture, including the purported fracture between scientific and religious understandings of reality. Jarvis Streeter's God and the History of the Universe is a grand narrative. It enters into both nature and fracture to discover a deeper invitation to peace. Streeter's gift hereby is a scientifically factual and deeply felt testimony to Love's liveliness--and unity!--throughout the universe.”

Karl Barth

Theology

“In this insightful and wide-ranging consideration of Barth for today, Chung reminds us of both the particularities of Barth's politicized theology and his theologized politics. Thereby Chung, in a properly Barthian mode and with the refreshing frame of a second-generation minjung theologian, demonstrates Barth's ongoing relevance for this politically charged and pluralistically cultured day.”

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Froemming's coupling of Dawkins' idea of 'the selfish gene' and Girard's mimetic theory for a more contemporarily persuasive theology is bold, smart, and necessary. It should catalyze a softening of the positions of materialistic evolutionary biologists and scientifically-unengaged theologians. Would-be peacemakers of all stripes looking for a unified theory, let Froemming introduce you to memes and mimetic theory in the figure of the Christ!”
