The Sacred Chain draws on philosophy, theology, and the latest scientific research to tackle some of the biggest questions facing humanity and people of faith today, such as:
- How can we hold the Bible as a sacred text and yet reconcile modern science with it?
- By condensing noteworthy events in the history of our universe into one calendar week, what can we learn about God's creative process and priorities, and where humans fit in?
