Quantum Leap: How John Polkinghorne Found God in Science and Religion

by Dean Nelson, Karl Giberson

Paperback, 192 pages

Published September 1st 2011 by Lion UK

ISBN 0745954014 (ISBN13: 9780745954011)

The Revd Dr. John Polkinghorne, KBE, FRS is a British particle physicist who, after 25 years of research and discovery in academia, resigned his post to become an Anglican priest and theologian. A professor of mathematical physics at Cambridge University, he was elected to the Royal Society in 1974. As a physicist he participated in the research that led to the theory of the quark, the smallest known particle. This engaging biography-cum-appraisal of his life and work uses Polkinghorne’s own story to explore the most important questions: a scientist’s view of God; why we pray, and what we expect; does the universe have a point?; what happens next?

About Me
"When I consider the brief span of my life, absorbed into the eternity before and after, the small space I occupy and which I see swallowed up in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I know nothing and which know nothing of me, I take fright and am amazed to see myself here rather than there: there is no reason for me to be here rather than there, now rather than then. Who put me here? By whose command and act were this time and place allotted to me? ... The eternal silence of these infinite spaces terrifies me." (Pascal, Pensées, Fragment 230)
