End Days (Deborah Zoe Laufer) for Android
In End Days, a suburban family is undergoing a spiritual crisis following the September 11th attacks. Sylvia Stein has turned to Christianity to save her disaffected husband Arthur and her rebellious teenage daughter Rachel. But as Sylvia races around preparing for the Rapture, Rachel is learning that there are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in her philosophy.
Includes an interview about science and theology with Robert John Russell, the founder and director of the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences - an organization dedicated to fostering dialogue between the sciences and world religions. Dr. Russell is the Ian G. Barbour Professor of Theology and Science at the interfaith consortium, the Graduate Theological Union, in Berkeley, California.
