A World Connected Within the Bounds of Interpretation

What if we approached faith the way we approach science - not to disprove it, but to examine it with the same curiosity, rigor, and humility?

In this groundbreaking fusion of spiritual memoir, data science, and philosophical inquiry, Lawrence I. Morris draws on his personal journey from the pews of both Southern Baptist churches and the Mormon church in Louisiana to the academic halls of Columbia Engineering and NYU Stern School of Business in New York City, and on to refining his analytical depths in R&D at Duracell, 1010data, and Greystone. With the clarity of a statistician and the empathy of a seeker, Lawrence I. Morris asks bold questions: Can sacred texts be understood as statistical samples? Are belief systems quantifiable and comparable? Can absolute truth be known, or only approached within interpretive limits?

Influenced by a blend of narratives from Darwin, Genesis, Bayesian analysis and reasoning, and lesser known sacred texts, this book challenges both the devout and the

A Testament and Autobiography of My First 37 Years

Lawrence I. Morris has lived a life shaped by curiosity, reinvention, and an unrelenting pursuit of truth. Born in Louisiana and raised at the crossroads of two powerful faith traditions—Southern Baptist and Latter-day Saint—he grew up navigating questions of belief, identity, and purpose long before he had the vocabulary to articulate them. His journey would eventually lead him far from the places that formed him, yet closer to the person he was meant to become.

From the rural South to the analytical rigor of Columbia Engineering and the global business lens of NYU Stern, Morris forged a path that blended spirituality with science, intuition with data, and introspection with ambition. His professional evolution—spanning research and development at Duracell, large-scale analytics at 1010data, and strategic and technological leadership at Greystone—mirrors his personal quest for structure, meaning, and understanding in an increasingly complex world.

Testimonials (5)
  • Morris’s academic and professional background plays a significant role in his unique perspective. With credentials from NYU Stern School of Business and Columbia Engineering, combined with his deep expertise in data analytics and artificial intelligence, Morris brings an unparalleled depth to his writing. His ability to connect the analytical with the spiritual is what truly distinguishes him in the literary world. Morris doesn’t simply write about science and faith, he dares to connect the two in a way that feels authentic and accessible.
    2025 Evergreen Awards Committee
  • By weaving his personal journey—from Southern Baptist pews and Mormon congregations in Louisiana to the academic rigor of Columbia Engineering and NYU Stern—Morris redefines what it means to examine truth. Through questions rooted in both theology and quantitative reasoning, he challenges readers to approach belief with curiosity, humility, and intellectual courage.
    2025 American Writing Awards Committee
  • Lawrence I. Morris is challenging traditional perspectives on faith and belief, combining his expertise in data science with deeply personal explorations of spirituality. His debut book, A World Connected Within the Bounds of Interpretation, offers a fresh and provocative perspective on how faith can be analyzed through the lens of data, inviting readers to question their own assumptions about knowledge and belief.
    NY Review Contributor
  • Lawrence I. Morris doesn’t fit neatly into categories. The African American Ivy League graduate with a Columbia University chemical engineering degree and an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business, a top finance school has built a thriving technology career and achieved self-made millionaire status. Now he’s earning recognition for something entirely different: writing a book that challenges the boundaries between scientific reasoning and faith-based spirituality. His debut work, “A World Connected Within the Bounds of Interpretation,” recently earned him the 2025 Evergreen Award for Best New Author in the United States. The book also achieved best-selling status during its eBook release on Amazon’s Kindle bookstore, suggesting that Morris has tapped into something readers have been looking for.
    Insider Weekly Contributor
  • The science and faith communities don’t often find themselves in agreement. But Lawrence I. Morris, an engineer turned technologist, entrepreneur, and theologian, has written a book that’s getting attention from both sides of that historically contentious divide. His debut work, “A World Connected Within the Bounds of Interpretation,” recently won the 2025 Evergreen Award for Best New Author in the United States and hit best-selling status during its Kindle release on Amazon. The book tackles something most writers avoid: trying to reconcile data-driven scientific reasoning with faith-based spirituality without alienating either camp.
