Science and the Trinity : The Christian Encounter with Reality

One of our great theologians, also a physicist, here sets a new agenda for religion's dialogue with science. John Polkinghorne approaches the dialogue from a little-explored perspective in which theology shapes the discussion, and he argues convincingly that science and theology can inform one another in significant ways. "Polkinghorne writes masterfully. He can be accurate without becoming technical, simple without becoming simplistic, orthodox without posturing as a defender of the faith. . . . This volume provides a valuable introduction to Polkinghorne's interests and the theology-science dialogue in general."Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[Polkinghorne's] account of science and Christian theology succeeds unusually well in doing justice to both sides of the conversation."Catherine and Andy Crouch, Books & Culture "Vintage Polkinghorne: clear, informed, interdisciplinarily sophisticated, compelling."Miroslav Volf, Yale Divinity School
