God’s Splendor in the Universe

We invite you to save the date for God’s Splendor in the Universe — the 12th Annual Westminster Conference on Science & Faith, scheduled for September 20–21, 2024 in the Philadelphia area.

The conference will coincide with the release of an updated and expanded 20th-anniversary edition of The Privileged Planet, a seminal book on the fine-tuning of our planet for life and scientific discovery.
