101 Great Big Questions about God and Science

Lizzie Henderson Β· 2022
79/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Lizzie Henderson has filled a genuine gap here. Children have real, hard questions about whether God and science can both be true, and this book takes those questions seriously β€” enlisting contributors like N.T. Wright and Francis Collins to answer over 100 of them across eight chapters from the Big Bang to the nature of God. The dip-in format is smart for the age group, and the balance of serious and playful questions keeps it from feeling like a textbook. Endorsed by the Faraday Institute, it is one of the most faith-affirming and intellectually credible titles in this batch for the family audience. The honest caveat is that the theological perspective broadly reflects evangelical-to-mainline Protestant Christianity, which may not map cleanly onto all faith traditions, and some questions may stretch the younger end of the age range. Highly recommended for curious Christian families.
