Professor Bob White

Current President

Bob White FRS is Emeritus Professor of Geophysics, Cambridge University and an Emeritus Director of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion. His passion is showing that science and Christian faith are two ways of looking at the world which give a richer and deeper view of it than either on their own. He is thrilled that as a geologist he has been paid to study God’s creation throughout his professional career. He currently works on volcanic eruptions in Iceland.

His recent books include (with Jonathan Moo) Hope in an Age of Despair: The Gospel and the Future of Life on Earth (IVP, 2013); Who is to Blame? Nature, Disasters and Acts of God (Lion, 2014); (with Roger Abbott) What Good is God? Crises, Faith, and Resilience (Lion, 2020).
