Quantum Physics and Theology - An Unexpected Kinship

A short and remarkably accessible book, which draws striking parallels between quantum mechanics and the search for an understanding of the nature of Jesus, in order to make the similarities discernible. Professor Polkinghorne's profound understanding of, and respect for, both theology and physics make this an engrossing and humane book: a real contribution to a constructive dialogue between the theological and the scientific in their common pursuit of truth.¿
