{"product_id":"quantum-physics-and-theology-an-unexpected-kinship","title":"Quantum Physics and Theology: An Unexpected Kinship","description":"One of today’s greatest thinkers ponders a surprising set of similarities between two important forms of the search for truth\n\nDespite the differences of their subject matter, science and theology have a cousinly relationship, John Polkinghorne contends in his latest thought-provoking book. 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0300138407\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.0300138407.N\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Polkinghorne, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Good Books Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56137851306289,"sku":"GBV.0300138407.N","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/3730\/2065\/files\/0300138407-0.jpg?v=1788642237","url":"https:\/\/goodbookscompany.org\/products\/quantum-physics-and-theology-an-unexpected-kinship","provider":"Good Books Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
