Having headed up the Human Genome Project and led the race to find a Covid vaccine, Franics Collins is one of the most influential Christian scientists in the world. Dr Ruth Bancewicz reviews his new book, The Road to Wisdom
Whatever the outcome of the US election, this book will remain incredibly timely for any Christian trying to understand and respond to the truth wars.
Francis Collins is arguably one of the most powerful biologists in the world, serving three US presidents. As a geneticist, I knew about his work to identify the cause of Cystic Fibrosis and a number of other key genetic diseases before I was aware that he was a Christian. His achievements also included leading the Human Genome Project and, much later on, the race to find a vaccine and effective treatments for Covid-19.
