What if the Bible and science are meant not only to coexist but actually to inform one another? John Van Sloten is a pastor, theologian, and writer who seeks to discern God’s voice revealing himself in all things, both in the “book of the Bible” and the “book of God’s creation.” John has written God Speaks Science: What Neurons, Giant Squid, and Supernovae Reveal about Our Creator (Moody, 2023), where he dives into what God reveals about life and himself in the created order, which is explored and studied through scientific vocations.

The significance of the Bible’s extensive teaching about the natural world is easily overlooked by Christians accustomed to focusing only on what the Bible says about God’s interaction with human beings. Who cares about the creation? Well, God told us humans that we are supposed to care for the creation.
