Summary: This visually stunning, award-winning, three part documentary uses interviews with ten top scientists and theologians to introduce some big questions and address the many challenging issues raised by the sciences. It shows that science is compatible with genuine faith in God. The Test of faith course comes with accompanying resources developed by the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion ideally tailored to unpack the issues raised in the documentary. The book tells the stories of the scientists featured in the video materials as they share their life, stories and reflections on science and faith. The study guide allows small groups to explore science-faith issues by choosing topics and discussing them at a level and pace that suits the group. The Leader's guide supplements the study guide with suggested responses to questions, critical background information and opportunities to go deeper while encouraging an open discussion of a range of views
