Before his death in 1887, Scottish judge Adam Gifford endowed a lecture series to "promote and diffuse the study of Natural Theology in the widest sense of the term-in other words, the knowledge of God." Since then, this annual lecture series has featured a veritable Who's Who of modern scientists, philosophers and theologians: from William James to Karl Barth, Albert Schweitzer to Reinhold Niebuhr, Niels Bohr to Iris Murdoch, and many more. Looking back, the Gifford Lecture series encapsulates a century when the natural sciences encountered the claims of biblical religion with full force. In The Measure of God, prize-winning journalist Larry Witham examines the debates and conflicts between science and religion as reflected in the Gifford Lectures. Highlighting the major themes addressed over the past century, Witham chronicles the growing pains of a society struggling to reconcile modern technology and time-honored religious belief. Larry Alan Witham is a Washington D.C. newspaper reporter specializing in religious news and social issues. An award-winning journalist, he has filed more than 4,000 news reports, features and book reviews. His books include Where Darwin Meets the Bible (Oxford) and By Design: Science and the Search for God (Encounter Books). "An insightful and colorful narrative catching the pivotal themes of the world's best-known lecture series. A delightful mix of intellectual analysis and stimulating after-dinner conversation." - Prof. Holmes Rolston, Colorado State University
