Welcome to another post in my Praise and Prose series, which looks at the way we use language around matters of faith and spirituality, and how that language might change in order to better reflect reality.

Does God Make Scientific Errors?

In this week’s philosophy post we’ll be moving on from the Medieval period to look at the beginnings of modern science and the life and work of Nicolaus Copernicus.
