An instant bestseller from Templeton Prize–winning author Francis S. Collins, The Language of God provides the best argument for the integration of faith and logic since C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity. It has long been believed that science and faith cannot mingle. Faith rejects the rational, while science restricts us to a life with no meaning beyond the physical. It is an irreconcilable war between two polar-opposite ways of thinking and living. Written for believers, agnostics, and atheists alike, The Language of God provides a testament to the power of faith in the midst of suffering without faltering from its logical stride. Readers will be inspired by Collin’s personal story of struggling with doubt, as well as the many revelations of the wonder of God’s creation that will forever shape the way they view the world around them.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Collins’ argument that science and faith are compatible deserves a wide hearing. It lets non-churchgoers consider spiritual questions without feeling awkward.”  New York Times Book Review
“It’s bracing to be reminded, in our disenchanted day, that an eminent scientist can read the genetic code as sacred speech.”  Washington Post
“Collins wants to convince the religious that science leaves plenty of leeway for belief in God. And he wants scientists to know that religious faith can actually be based on reason. Religion and science can not only coexist, but they can reinforce one another, each contributing to a sense of awe and wonder at God…He is an intelligent, honest guide to the problems posed by science and religion, and watching him wrestle with his material is instructive.”  Globe and Mail (Toronto)
“Francis Collins, one of the world’s most distinguished scientists, treats the relationship of science and religion with reason and reverence. Collins’ mix of clear technical exposition and personal reflection is infused with an intellectual and spiritual honesty. Everyone who questions how religious faith could be reconciled with scientific knowledge, everyone who fears that modern science attacks the heart of religious faith, everyone interested in an enlightened discussion of a crucial issue of our time should read this book.”  William D. Phelps, 1997 Nobel Laureate in Physics
