Living With Hope

In these refreshingly unconventional meditations, scientist John Polkinghorne connects the perspectives of science and religion in honest and thoughtful reflections for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. Giving new meaning to the penitence of Advent and the hope of the Christian faith, he considers God's ultimate purposes along with scientific knowledge of the fate of the universe. Complete with Scriptural references and prayers,Living With Hopeencourages Christians to think about the beginning and end of the world and to come to discover what it means to truly affirm God's purpose in creation.

John Polkinghorne is past President and now Fellow of Queens' College, Cambridge. A former Professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge, he is a priest in the Church of England and Canon Theologian of Liverpool. He was knighted in 1997 and won a Templeton Prize in 2002
