This work goes a couple of levels beyond the much published Dawkins. Here the book delves into the 'strange' world of quantum mechanics and cosmology. Whereas other paradigms will reference the well understood natural selection view (which is full of holes anyway!), here we are fascillitated to consider the nature of how the universe and exsistence began.

Accessible

Format:Paperback
I thoroughly enjoyed this great book by John Polkinghorne. Polkinghorne's writing style is brilliant. The "Introduction" in the title and the book's small size deceived me at first; this book is no "quick read." Thankfully, the book is conveniently broken into small bite-sized sections, allowing one to absorbed and reflect on Polkinghorne's insightful work. This is Polkinghorne's most accessible work, and I highly recommend it.

Masterly summary of Science & Theology from a real expert.
21 April 1999
Format:Paperback
John Polkinghorne is probably the greatest writer on science and religion to date - the only truly world-class scientist who has become a theologian. This book is his 'textbook' surveying the field, discussing other authors and providing a rounded view. Everyone seriously interested in ultimate questions should read this book.

One of the best books
8 July 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is one of the best books on these subjects I have ever read. It brings into account science,nature, evolution, intelligent design and religion with being bias. This is a book I will keep as one of my reference books and I probably will read it again sometime in the future. Not difficult to read. He makes some great points. Very glad I bought it.
