The Entropic God – Allison Miller
Allison's study of entropy and creation reveals a Paschal pattern in the cosmos that is beautiful and encouraging, and I believe it is relevant for what it means to nourish faith in postmodernity.The Entropic God: Christian Theology Confronts the Second Law of Thermodynamics
