Science may be the biggest threat to teenage faith today, but Andrew Root demonstrates that, in fact, the two are not incompatible. Root, a renowned expert on adolescent spirituality, shows how science overstates its claims on truth, while faith often understates its own claims. Both faith and science frame the experience and reality of teenagers, and both have something valuable to offer as adolescents develop. Drawing on a fictional account of a youth pastor and the various students he encounters, Root paints a compelling picture of how faith can flourish, even in our scientific age.
Andrew Root teaches youth and family ministry at Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He's the author of many books, including Revisiting Relational Youth Ministry and The Grace of Dogs. Root is an internationally acclaimed speaker on adolescence and spirituality. He lives in Saint Paul with his wife, kids, and dog.
