Many things threaten the faith of youth today, but none more than
science. The commitments of science and Christianity seem to be at
odds—science makes truth claims based on experiments and proofs,
while religion asks for belief and trust. But Andrew Root demonstrates
that, in fact, the two are not incompatible. Root, a renowned expert
on adolescent spirituality, shows how science overstates its claims on
truth, while faith often understates its own claims. Both faith and
science frame the experience and reality of teenagers, and both have
something valuable to offer as adolescents develop. Drawing on a
fictional account of a youth pastor and the various students he
encounters, Root paints a compelling picture of how faith can
flourish, even in our scientific age.
