Summary

This acclaimed book is back in print with a new introduction by its award-winning author. An interdisciplinary approach to the central themes of scientific and religious thought, it uses the scientific method of inquiry to distill key issues from science. These issues are then integrated in a study that highlights crucial issues in a logical and historical analysis that begins with matter and moves through life, mind, culture, history, and spirit.

Author Biography
