Blue Twilight: Nature, Creationism, and American Religion
Gilkey's latest work takes the measure of the current American
religious and cultural crisis, assesses recent theological responses
to it, and shows how these illumine our understanding of the ongoing
creationism controversy. Throughout, Gilkey articulates a faith-
stance responsive to the contemporary world of radical pluralism and
moral uncertainity — without retreating to simplistic
dogmatism.
Gilkey's vision of a "blue twilight" in which light fights with dark in religion and culture, stands as a stark reminder of what is at stake in the future of American religious life.
