This book provides an attempt at synthesis between the various fields of science (particularly, but not limited to, physics), philosophy and theology. Their methodology (explained in the preface) is admirable, so that the reader knows that each of the essays was written by someone with deep knowledge in two of the three fields. This book is definitely NOT for the average reader; I am having a hard time following it, even with my background in philosophy and theology. Still makes for a very interesting read, though.
