Faith, Science, and the Search for Truth
Wayne Runde writes Christian speculative fiction where faith and science are not enemies, but where human pride, moral compromise, and spiritual blindness can turn discovery into danger.
In The Genesis Trust, a hidden society of scientists works to preserve honest inquiry in a world drifting toward collapse. In Tapestry of Grace, four strangers begin to perceive mysterious threads woven through creation, drawing them toward questions of faith, higher dimensions, and divine purpose.
Across both series, Runde explores one central question:
What happens when humanity encounters truth greater than itself?
Faith, Science, and the Search for Truth
The Genesis Trust, from Christian Faith Publishing author Wayne Runde, is a fast-paced fiction story that presents a compelling battle for the future of the world as a secret society tries to defeat a group of dangerous scientists.
Runde shares, “In the three centuries since Galileo, science steadily advanced. In the early twentieth century, science and technology were the undisputed champions of everyday life. Now the pride of scientists was causing science to fail.”
Clemens Gerhardt, a distinguished scientist and member of the National Academy of Sciences, saw where this pride led. As science failed, it would lead to worsening conditions and eventually to another Dark Age. Untold millions would die of starvation and disease. Like Galileo before him, he was ostracized by the elitist scientists as a heretic.
To preserve science and continue its advance, Gerhardt and the American president gathered like-minded scientists to preserve and promote science.
They were hidden away on the island of Atlantis, where the Genesis Trust was established as a rebirth of the scientific method. No explanations of nature were discarded, even if they went contrary to scientists in the rest of the world.
“Soon the Trust found itself embroiled in events in the rest of the world. The nascent Atlantans aided the United States in its darkest hour. But a short time later, the Trust was pitted against the prideful scientists in America as well as a rebellion at home-all without unnecessary violence and without revealing their existence to the world.”
