In this brief and highly accessible book for general readers, distinguished physicist-turned-theologian, John Polkinghorne presents a reasoned account of the Christian view of the world as seen by the one of the world's leading interpreters of the interface between science and religion. Drawn from his experiences as a scientist and a theologian, Polkinghorne argues that Christianity presents a credible and compelling world view that can be taken seriously even while fully understanding the importance of science.
