I am ordained in the United Church of Christ; my family roots were Roman Catholic on my Italian father’s side and Episcopalian on my Swedish/English mother’s side. I have graduate degrees in experimental physics and Christian theology, and I serve on the doctoral faculty of the Graduate Theological Union. The invitation to write this survey provided an opportunity to revisit many areas in this burgeoning field which I had only marginally explored before, but which in the future I intend to study in much greater detail.
