Summary

Twentieth-Century science discovered that the physical world is profoundly relational-that, thanks to the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, there is a holistic connectivity at the deepest level of physical reality. This new way of comprehending the universe-which brings to mind the mystery at the heart of Trinitarian theology-has inspired thirteen distinguished scholars from physics and theology to explore the role of relationality in both science and religion.

Author Biography

John Polkinghorne is president emeritus of Queens' College, Cambridge. A physicist and Anglican priest, he is the author of many books on science and religion, including The Faith of a Physicist and Belief in God in an Age of Science.
