About the author
Robert J. Russell, also known as Robert John Russell, is best known as the founder and director of the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences in Berkeley. He has also served as the Ian G. Barbour Professor of Theology and Science in Residence at the Graduate Theological Union, where his work has focused on building a serious conversation between modern science and Christian thought.
Before becoming known for theology and science, he trained in physics and earned a PhD from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Sources also describe him as an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, a background that helps explain the way his writing brings scientific ideas together with questions of faith, meaning, and doctrine.
His books include Cosmology from Alpha to Omega and Time in Eternity, and publisher and faculty profiles describe him as the author or co-editor of numerous volumes. Across that work, he has returned again and again to themes such as cosmology, divine action, resurrection, and the relationship between scientific discovery and religious belief.
