Science And Providence

Internationally renowned priest-scientist Dr. John C. Polkinghorne applies a scientific understanding of the physical world to the question of whether a personal, interacting God is a credible concept in today's scientific age. Building on the premise that both human beings and God have the freedom to act, he examines questions such as: Do miracles happen? Can prayer change anything? Why does evil exist? Why does God allow suffering?

Dr. John C. Polkinghorne is an Anglican priest, past president of Queens' College, Cambridge University, and former professor of mathematical physics at Cambridge
