ISBN: 9780300121155.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the differences of their subject matter, science and theology have a cousinly relationship, John Polkinghorne contends in his latest thought-provoking book. From his unique perspective as both theoretical physicist and Anglican priest, Polkinghorne considers aspects of quantum physics and theology and demonstrates that the two truth-seeking enterprises are engaged in analogous rational techniques of inquiry. His exploration of the deep connections between science and Christology shows with new clarity a common kinship in the search for truth.\n\nAmong the many parallels he identifies are patterns of historical development in quantum physics and in Christology; wrestling with perplexities such as quantum interpretation and the problem of evil; and the drive for an overarching view in the Grand Unified Theories of physics and in Trinitarian theology. Both theology and science are propelled by a desire to understand the world through experienced reality, and Polkinghorne explains that their viewpoints are by no means mutually exclusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44951986929717,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300121156","price":38.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300121155_74bc3c18-1fa3-4e7b-ae41-e0a2c2e116e6.jpg?v=1778929603","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/quantum-physics-and-theology-an-unexpected-kinship-9780300121155","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
