From the Back Cover

Provocative, persuasive and flawless in its scholarship, this ground-breaking book from renowned theologian and biochemist Arthur Peacocke triumphantly reunites the warring worlds of science and religion.
BY applying the principles of scientific thought to theological matters, he argues that the divine principle is at work behind all aspects of existence, both spiritual and physical. His elegant study tackles head-on such fundamental issues as how evolution can be reconciled with creation, and the relationship between Newton, causality and divine action, in a tighly argued and thoroughly readable book that could mark 'the end of all our exploring'.
Concluding with an optimistic new theology for our brave new world, Arthur Peacocke opens up fresh vistas on both the scientific and religious quests in a manner that will inspire all readers towards a fresh examination of the world within, around and beyond.
