Synopsis

The first Hubble telescope images from space, which appeared in 1990, confirmed that sentiment in ways beyond imagination. These eerily luminous landscapes, splendid with colour and motion, gave us a glimpse into the outermost reaches of the universe - a vast, unexplored realm where spiralling galaxies cartwheeled, nebulae shimmered and stars were born. Throughout history, scientists and theologians, artists and writers, poets and philosophers have struggled eloquently to make sense of the universe and God's part in it. Together the images in THE HAND OF GOD and the accompanying reflections encourage a sense of awe and, perhaps, purpose in an age often hostile to both.
