Is science fact and religion just opinion? Is there the mind of a Creator behind the universe? Can a scientist pray? John Polkinghorne has spent many years considering and writing about such questions, and now distils that insight and experience into a clear, lively and frank set of answers to these fundamental issues. This new edition has been fully revised in the light of recent developments in scientific research, and provides a valuable entry point into this fascinating area and to the thought of this key thinker and theologian.
