The idea of God’s nature and character as revealed through two books – scripture and nature – goes back to St Augustine and implicitly to Paul’s epistles. So, why do we only focus on one in church? We’ll explore how studying creation and the bible together deepens our understanding of God, ourselves and our place in the world. This week will bring Lee Abbey’s beautiful estate and the great truths of the bible together, as we explore both using theology, science, prayer, poetry and art.
