It seems that a mind at once challenging and loving has infused clues to itself within the very fabric of nature and evolution—clues that require another kind of wisdom to explore—the wisdom of God’s self-revelation. Origins weaves together many contemporary and traditional strands of science and religion into a fascinating, inspiring, intelligible, and original vision of nature’s proclamation of the glory of God.

Having already written on grace and personhood, Philip A. Rolnick here shows how a universe of grace and rationality can lead to the emergence of something like us: embodied, embedded, and endowed creatures. This is a highly informative and well-written tale of the evolution of human personhood.

Through a very informed and readable account of the contemporary sciences of evolution and cosmology, Philip Rolnick shows in this remarkable book that science and religion are not only compatible, but mutually illuminating. Faith reveals answers to questions beyond the bounds of science, even as science becomes 'a benefactor to the faith,' opening a way for us, through wonder, to a deeper love of God and creation.
