Challenging and Inspiring

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 September 2019

The writings of Diarmuid O'Murchu are a wonderful gift to us, insightful, at the cutting edge of theology and most of all “spiritual” in the broadest sense of that word. He is accomplished, having written at least 15 books to date as well as contributing to a wide range of journals. This is the third book I have read by this author and what strikes me about him is that over the years there has been a steady development in his thinking. As a social psychologist who has spent most of whose working life in social ministry, coming through his work is a synthesis of many academic disciplines which are inspired by his pastoral experience. This current book is no exception and is written and produced to a very high standard. It is fascinating, informative and provocative, challenging the atrophied structures of the church and the stagnation of thought in sections of contemporary theology. It is brave to make the links between the developments in cosmic physics/chaos theory/waves and particles and our understanding of God, the divine energy, the omega point of evolution, the dance of the universe. He alerts us to the probability that we are out of tune with the energies that formed and mould us but affirms that the universal search for meaning compels us to explore not just the physical world but, simultaneously, the mysterious forces of Eros. Inspiring and challenging. I liked this book so much that I have already pre-ordered his O’Murchu’s next book “When the Disciple Comes of Age”. Be prepared to be challenged.

This is a heavy read, I'll be honest, and I struggled to finish it, so it's not one for the beach. However, if you are prepared to give it the attention it deserves, and prepared for the possibility that some of it will sail right over your head, you will find in it great inspiration and food for thought. For me, it became a springboard for similar reading.

Excellent Writer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 August 2014

The excellence of Diarmuid O'Murchu is immediately evident. He is challenging the status quo in institutional analysis and putting forward a new knowledge synthesized from many disciplines. He writes succinctly and is a recognized writer and speaker in many areas of evolutionary spirituality and sub-disciplines.

Convergence among science, philosophy, and theology?

Reviewed in the United States on 9 October 2016

Verified Purchase

A wonderful exploration of what appears to be a growing convergence between science, philosophy, and theology (and perhaps even ontology) as we use quantum mechanics to delve deeper and deeper into the foundational workings of the universe. Truly fascinating, informative, provocative, and readable. O'Murchu takes these mind-bending topics and opens them up for everyone...though your head will still hurt as you try to take it all in. ;-)

brilliant synthesis of faith and science, however...

Reviewed in the United States on 7 May 2014

Our book club chose this selection and we took about 7 weeks to discuss it slowly and in depth. It is not an easy read.. However for those interested in one of the cutting edge books on this topic, it is a good choice. Our entire book group felt glad we chose to "do" this book together. I cannot fathom reading it alone. The 3 stars are for my response and do not reflect anything negative about the author or the book.

Theos, Thea, or What?

Reviewed in the United States on 27 July 1999

Verified Purchase

The author does make some interesting arguments. However, I recommend reading the appendicies first as a way of being introduced to the "theology."
The author is overly steeped in New Age, Femininst, and Anti-Industrial dogma and this seeps into an otherwise interesting view of the theological viewpoint.
I prefer the appendicies over the text as it provides a lot of ideas on which to work and think. Overall pretty good but would have been better without the preaching in the text.

The author made aware of the implications of the quantum theology and what is missing in the traditional theology. It also explain how science and religion may share more common concepts thought to be opposites. Great reading for inspiration, and understanding of today's world.

make the connection

Reviewed in the United States on 5 April 2000

Verified Purchase

Having read perhaps sixty or seventy books concerning quantum phenomena, I was eager to enlarge my horizons with this one. Now that I have read it twice, I am still searching for some indication that the author has found a connection between theology (I grant him expertise in this) and quantum anything. In fact, though it is merely implicit, he makes the naive error of considering the quantum as something large, when semi-informed lay readers know that the quantum is the smallest measurable amount of energy. thebigo@gte.net
