£12.99
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.
Polkinghorne is past President and now Fellow of Queens' College, Cambridge. A former Professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge, he is a priest in the Church of England and Canon Theologian of Liverpool. He won a Templeton Prize in 2002 in recognition of his work to make theology and scientific ideas accessible to more people, and has published many successful books with SPCK.
