The theme articles that follow touch on four broad issues: (1) The article by Amos Yong and the interview with Steve Krstulovich, Cecil Miller, and Christina Powell address in broad strokes the relationship between faith and science. (2) The articles by Kurt Wise, Hugh Ross, and Davis Young represent the spectrum of evangelical positions on Earth’s age. (3) In their articles, Michael Tenneson, Christina Powell, Jim Bradford, and John Mark Reynolds touch on practical issues that arise when you minister in a scientific age. (4) The concluding articles by Gregory Gannsle, Paul Copan, William Lane Craig, and Timothy McGrew present a reasoned defense of faith against New Atheist misuses of science.
