From his unique perspective as both theoretical physicist and Anglican priest, Professor Polkinghorne considers aspects of quantum physics and theology, and explores the deep connections between them. With clarity, he demonstrates that these two truth-seeking enterprises engage in similar rational techniques of inquiry and share a common kinship in the search for truth.
The author identifies many parallels between quantum physics and theology, including patterns of historical development, 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. Ultimately, Polkinghorne shows that the viewpoints of theology and science are by no means mutually exclusive, for they are propelled by a desire to understand the world through experienced reality.

‘...I believe that ultimately the cousinly relationships that we have investigated in this book find their most profound understanding in terms of that Theory of Everything which is Trinitarian theology’ This startling sentence is not only the last in the book, but also a summary of what has gone before. If Science and Theology are ‘cousins’ in the past they were, say, brother and sister, and originally say. Husband and wife! Polkinghorne tries to compare and contrast the intellectual endeavour involved in Quantum Physics and Theology to the credit of both. Those who stay with it will be rewarded.
