At a time when religious and scientific illiteracy seems to be cresting in this nation, when facts have been jettisoned as irrelevant and doubt is pushed overboard, Seeking Truth: Living with Doubt throws a surprising lifeline to all who refuse to give up on the voyage for meaning in our roiling world. Steven Fortney and Marshall Onellion have provided an outstanding example of how hearts and minds can work in critical conversation and creative tension. This book challenges all who realize “we aren’t in Kansas anymore,” all who see the necessity to take seriously the demands of an ever-unfolding cosmology and the artful questions of our religious instincts. What will happen when we realize dogmas have fallen like aging satellites; when the artisanship of evolution still awaits our words, our wit and our wonder?
