“Religion and Science keep struggling, each for its own wholeness and also for the wholeness of the other, thanks largely to John Polkinghorne. This long-time professor and Anglican priest has been a dependable research physicist as well as a seeking theologian. He can help us see and feel truth even into its fourth dimension.”
“Science illuminates the rational order of the universe. Religion is the encounter with God’s hidden presence. Far from opponents, both institutions complement each other, as do ethics and aesthetics. Polkinghorne makes that clear and accessible to lay people, whether they are inclined to religion or science.”
“[Polkinghorne] describes for the lay person the compatibility of science and religion. He demonstrates this in regard to the nature of God the creator, the richness of creation, prayer, and miracles.”
“This book is an important one for anyone interested in the shaping of religious consciousness and spirituality in the context of contemporary scientific cosmology.”
