I know this is the week that you have all been waiting for. Part 2 of my interview with Melissa Cain Travis is finally up, and I had so much fun discussing her new book, Science and the Mind of the Maker: What the Conversation Between Faith and Science Reveals About God. I really hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it. If you didn’t listen to last week, then you missed out. But don’t worry! You can go back and listen to it here. We had a great discussion relating to apologetics to children, women in apologetics, and issues about science and faith.
Melissa serves as Assistant Professor of Christian Apologetics at Houston Baptist University, where she has been on the faculty since 2013. She is a contributing writer for Christian Research Journal and has written for the CT Women column on the Christianity Today website. Melissa is pursuing a Ph.D. in humanities, focusing on the history and philosophy related to scientific and mathematical thought in the Western tradition and contemporary scholarship. She earned the Master of Arts in Science and Religion from Biola University.
Enjoy our discussion!
