David's Gift

Barry and Susan Nelson’s firstborn, David, is one of those very rare children who gets bored after having mastered quantum mechanics by his ninth birthday. Raising him in the Christian faith, they soon find that he is asking piercing theological questions concerning evolution vs Creation, and that they need expert help in providing him with answers. In the same way they sought out college professors to tutor him in advanced mathematics and physics, they turn to their church’s pastor, who is both a medical doctor and a Doctor of Philosophy. Rev. Johnson’s incredibly detailed discussions with David examine every facet of the debate.

David’s Gift is a fictional tale of an absolutely non-fiction issue, addressed comprehensively by an author who clearly has a deep understanding of what he refers to as Evolutionized Creation. There is, Keller contends in the Introduction, no reason to abandon your Creationist beliefs, especially not when the science so clearly supports the reality of a Creator.A story of new faith, lost faith renewed and the staggering complexity and ineradicable beauty of a perfect Creation.
