John Polkinghorne brings unique qualifications to his exploration of the possibilities of believing in God in an age of science: he is internationally known as a theoretical physicist and as a theologian. In this thought-provoking book, Polkinghorne focuses on the collegiality between science and theology, contending that the inquiries of these "intellectual cousins" are parallel.
John Polkinghorne, K.B.E., F.R.S., is past President and now Fellow of Queens' College, Cambridge, and Canon Theologian of Liverpool. He is the winner of the 2002 Templeton Prize for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities. Among his many other books are Faith, Science, and Understanding and The God of Hope and the End of the World, both published by Yale University Press.
"This book should be widely read." Colin Tudge, New Statesman and Society "Polkinghorne presents a polished and logically coherent argument." Freeman J. Dyson, New York Review of Books "Short, accessible, and authoritative." Carlin Romano, Philadelphia Inquirer "If you read one book on science and religion, this should be it." Kirkus Reviews
