In The Road to Wisdom, Francis S. Collins offers a compelling explanation of how faith and science are combined in the pursuit of truth and wisdom. The base of that road is truth, and the source of truth is found in Jesus. Collins graduated from Yale with a PhD in physical chemistry, then changed fields and went to the UNC School of Medicine and became a medical doctor. A pioneer gene hunter, he led the Human Genome Project from 1993 until 2008.
For his revolutionary contributions to genetic research, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2007 and the National Medal of Science in 2009. The Road to Wisdom is compelling and worthy of acclaim.
“In The Road to Wisdom, Francis Collins—a distinguished scientist as well as a former atheist who found meaning in the Christian faith—draws on his own deep, diverse experiences as he leads us through a maze of conflicting beliefs and opinions in search of wisdom: the sort that can save us before it is too late. This book should be read by anyone, Christian and non-Christian alike, who is seeking meaning or trying to make sense of our troubled times.”―Jane Goodall
