"Polkinghorne traces the correlation between the development of quantum theory in physics and the development of Christological thought in theology. He leaves a lot of room for further investigation as to the actual nature of the quantum theory, but he treats the development of the theological implications of Jesus fairly thoroughly. The book is less than 150 pages, so "thoroughly" might be a touch misleading. It's a very enjoyable book, if you have the requisite taste for physics and theology. I found it enlightening and a nice, compact review of the ideas of 20th century physics and the theological development of the early Church. Recommended."
"This book consists of a few short chapters showing similarities between the pursuits of science, specifically quantum physics, and theology. From an author who spent a large portion of his life as a scientist before becoming Anglican clergy, this book is very helpful for anyone seeking to understand the relationship between science and religion. Polkinghorne shows that rather than enemies, they are cousins seeking truth in different ways."
