The relationship between science and faith in God has deepened in recent years as the delicate balance and structure of scientific law has seemed to many to speak of an Intelligence behind the unfolding universe. But while such a God might command respect and wonder, he does not necessarily invite love and the promise of personal interaction with his creation. John Polkinghorne's new book, which completes the trilogy begun by One World and Science and Creation, is the first to apply a modern understanding of the physical world to questions of prayer and providence. Do miracles happen? Can prayer change anything? Why does evil exist? Science and Providence brings new and often surprising insights to bear on these familiar questions, and will inaugurate a new stage in the science and religion debate.
