Biology professor releases new book about religion
WAYNESBURG – Wayne Rossiter, an assistant professor of biology at Waynesburg University, recently released his latest book, “Mind Over Matter: The Necessity of Metaphysics in a Material World.” The book provides a practical and easy-to-use guide for anyone looking to respond to common objections to religious faith.
“Today, Christians are routinely mocked and ridiculed as being ignorant and out of step with modern science and philosophy,” Rossiter said. “This book offers a defense against these charges by offering sound responses to the most common arguments mounted against faith in God.”
Rossiter’s previous book is titled “Shadow of Oz: Theistic Evolution and the Absent God.”
“I think it’s just fun to see how others in your field have interpreted your work, and the sorts of questions or concerns they have,” he said.
Rossiter has been invited to speak at the University of Pennsylvania’s Erie campus and 2016 Christian Scientific Society conference. Additionally, he has been contacted by a parochial school in Philadelphia about using his latest book on a large scale.
Rossiter received his bachelor of science degree from Otterbein University, his master of science degree from Ohio State University and his doctorate from Rutgers University.
