Large Circles and Bold Lines is about a quest for meaning in the life of a Quaker scientist. It is my reconciliation between science and decidedly non-traditional Christian theology and it shows how my identity as a Quaker is the offspring of that union.

Finally, a personally challenging topic that has to do with the eternal question: Why do bad things happen to good people?
