About this Event

Bruce Ritchie joins Michael Fuller to speak about his newest book, 'James Clark Maxwell: Faith, Church, Physics’.

The book addresses the life and scientific work of the renowned Scottish physicist, focusing on Maxwell's faith and examining many of the scientific, philosophical and religious questions which Maxwell encountered in the mid-19th century.

Ritchie will also be speaking about some of his past books, including ‘Columba: The faith of an Island Soldier’, which examines the theology of Columba of Iona; ‘T.F. Torrance in Recollection and Reappraisal’, in which he examines Torrance’s theology, especially as it impacted his own theological understanding; and ‘Five Weeks in the Land’, an extended journal documenting time spent in Israel, Palestine, and Jordan, including conversations with people from all parts of society in the region.
