Agnes Scott physics and astronomy professor and ordained minister Paul Wallace launches his new book, 'Love and Quasars: An Astrophysicist Reconciles Faith and Science'.
Paul Wallace teaches physics and astronomy at Agnes Scott College. He holds a PhD in experimental nuclear physics from Duke University and an MDiv from Candler School of Theology. He also teaches theology at Candler and at Columbia Theological Seminary. He is ordained in the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. His first book, Stars Beneath Us: Finding God in the Evolving Cosmos, was released in March 2016. In his newest, Love and Quasars: An Astrophysicist Reconciles Faith and Science, Wallace shows how faith and science are pitted against one another, and he explains how the standard ways of reconciling them don't work. He then proposes a reasonable, thoughtful approach that will appeal to Christians and students of science alike. This event will be held at First Baptist Church Decatur, in Carreker Hall, and is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30. Books will be available for purchase and to have signed.
