—Owen Gingerich, professor emeritus of astronomy and of the history of science, Harvard University
Astronomy elicits awe and wonder from those who gaze into the vastness of the universe. Religion elicits even greater awe and wonder of the infinite Creator of such vastness. This book beautifully balances both experiences of wonder.
