Reflections of Light (Erin Parker, friend of English L'Abri)

How the science of light reveals the character of God.

“We are starting with the words, ‘God is light.’ This is in I John 1:5. And if you are around Christian things, this is probably a familiar phrase to you. But I wonder if you’ve ever really questioned it. God is light. There are some obvious implications. There are shadows that form, and God is not the shadow. Good and evil. So I looked at this and said, ‘is there more?’…And recently I’ve been thinking about what it means to take these verses literally…to ask ‘what does it mean for God to be light in a scientific sense? Can we study light and explore something about God?’”…
