When someone suggested that my next book should be about ‘water’, my first thought was: “is there really enough about ‘water’, at least from a layman’s perspective, to warrant an entire book?”. One year later, after much research, the answer turned out not only to be "yes", but this topic could easily occupy an entire set of books!

Then, when I started re-reading passages in the Bible where ...

Historian Philip Jenkins draws out the complex relationship between religion and climate change. He asserts that the religious movements and ideas that emerge from climate shocks often last for many decades, and even become a familiar part of the religious landscape.

This book is not a religious/spiritual adventure but one of facts. The shroud of Turin exists as a photographic negative and dates back from an era (around 2,000 years) - prior to the invention of the camera. The components of the cloth have been newly examined under “EXTREME SCIENTIFIC SCRUTINY” using the latest technological equipment by groups of scientists, among them the scientists involved in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

In October 2014, a group of mathematicians, physicists, ecologists, philosophers, and theologians gathered at a special conference in Berkeley, California, to present the results of a two-year research program dubbed “Project SATURN”. This program explored many of the rich avenues of thought found at the intersection of modern science and Christian theology. Chief among them is the possibility that certain processes in nature might be so complex that they do not have sufficient physical causes.
