From his unique perspective as both theoretical physicist and Anglican priest, Polkinghorne considers aspects of quantum physics and theology and demonstrates that the two truth-seeking enterprises are engaged in analogous rational techniques of inquiry. His exploration of the deep connections between science and Christology shows with new clarity a common kinship in the search for truth. Among the many parallels he identifies are patterns of historical development in quantum physics and in Christology; 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. Both theology and science are propelled by a desire to understand the world through experienced reality, and Polkinghorne explains that their viewpoints are by no means mutually exclusive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611733672087,"sku":"9780300138405","price":1881.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300138405.webp?v=1775072535","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/quantum-physics-and-theology-an-unexpected-kinship-9780300138405","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
