Blue Twilight: Nature Creationism and American Religion

Gilkeys latest work takes the measure of the current American religious and cultural crisis assesses recent theological responses to it and shows how these illumine our understanding of the ongoing creationism controversy. Throughout Gilkey articulates a faith- stance responsive to the contemporary world of radical pluralism and moral uncertainity - without retreating to simplistic dogmatism. Gilkeys vision of a blue twilight in which light fights with dark in religion and culture stands as a stark reminder of what is at stake in the future of American religious life.
