Abstract
Have you ever wanted to meet John Suppe (Princeton University professor and authority on structural geology and plate tectonics), Colin Russel (United Kingdom Open University professor and insightful interpreter of science history), William Dembski (Baylor University philosopher, mathematician and reflective spokesperson of Intelligent Design), or Calvin DeWitt (University of Michigan professor and enthusiastic advocate of environmental ethics)? By reading this special issue of Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith, you can meet the four persons described above as well as eleven additional scientists who are making notable contributions to science and are faithful representatives of Jesus in their scientific and research activities. Within these pages you may catch a glimpse of the energy, passion, and concerns gleamed from a national consultation on "Christian Faith and the Choice of Research Topic in the Natural and Applied Sciences" organized by InterVarsity Graduate and Facutly Ministrees of St. Mary's of the Lake, Mundelein, Illinois.
