The Trinity and an Entangled World: Relationality in Physical Science and Theology pdf by John Polkinghorne

Twentieth-century science discovered that the physical world is deeply relational. In fact, the phenomenon of quantum entanglement implies that even the subatomic world cannot simply be treated atomistically. With that in mind, thirteen distinguished scholars from physics and theology here explore the role of relationality in both science and religion. Besides containing expert accounts — both scientific and theological — this volume provides careful assessment of the significance that these insights have for the interdisciplinary discussion of a consonant relationship between science and religion — a topic of considerable importance. The Trinity and an Entangled World offers a uniquely authoritative and illuminating discussion and will prove to be an important contribution to the literature concerned with science and religion.
