Summary
John Polkinghorne brings unique qualifications to his exploration of the possibilities of believing in God in
an age of science: he is internationally known as a theoretical physicist and as a theologian. In this thought-provoking
book, Polkinghorne focuses on the collegiality between science and theology, contending that the inquiries of these
"intellectual cousins" are parallel.
