Written by perhaps the world’s foremost authority on the relationship between science and theology, Reason and Reality brings together essays in which John Polkinghorne pursues more deeply themes touched on in his earlier works.

The result is a deeply satisfying interpretation of the nature and scope of human knowledge, the extent and limits of science, and the proper place of theology as what Polkinghorne calls science’s “cousin under the skin”.

Polkinghorne impresses with a rare combination of theological sensitivity and technical grasp of the scientific and metascientific issues involved. Publisher’s Weekly
