As advanced by astronomer-cosmologist Sir Fred Hoyle, astronomy, biology, astrobiology, astrophysics, and cosmology converge agreeably with natural theology. In The Big Bang and God, these interdisciplinary convergences are developed by an astronomer collaborating with a theologian.

Chandra Wickramasinghe is a world-renowned astronomer-astrobiologist. He is also a long-time research collaborator with Sir Fred Hoyle. They discovered organic molecules in interstellar space and advanced 'cometary panspermia' (the idea that water and organic matter are circulated by comets).
Theodore Walker Jr. is a liberty-oriented process theologian who serves on the advisory board for the journal Process Studies and as a guest editor for the astro-theology volumes of the Journal of Cosmology.

Rezensionen
"The Big Bang and God: an Astro-Theology is a unique and enjoyable exploration of the relationship between science and theology, centered around a central theme: convergence. ... The Big Bang and God is a genuinely interesting and approachable work, ably organizing and presenting a broad, interdisciplinary topic for the non-specialist." (Corbin Boekhaus, RR readingreligion.org, September, 2016)
