Living as Part of the Story

Abstract
When reading Richard Dawkins' most recent book, The Greatest Show on Earth (New York: Free Press, 2009), I was struck by the audacity of the phrase, "greatest show," describing the primrose path to macro-evolution. Questions immediately formed in my mind. How does this story (or show) relate to the grand story or narrative that Christians hold to be the case and that forms the history of all there is: the dynamic cosmic movement from creation, fall, redemption to consummation? It is a story of God, who has done great things in the past and present, and, one may trust, who will do the same in the future. In addition, one can also raise the existential question that N. T. Wright often poses-how do we find our place in this story, in our professional life, in the ASA, and in solidarity with other Christians worldwide?
