Media Reviews
Times Literary Supplement
Like all of Kung's work, this is a learned book, full of interesting insights.
John Polkinghorne
Canon Theologian of Liverpool Cathedral
Many will find it fascinating to see how a distinguished theologian offers his personal contribution to the dialogue between science and theology, writing in a bold and challenging manner and making good use of his wide reading and personal encounters.
Ted Peters
coeditor of Theology and Science
The prolific and inquisitive Hans Kung guides us through the conundrums of Big Bang cosmology, evolution, and brain science, showing how science raises questions it cannot answer. God is the answer. God is a rational answer, based on a faith that trusts. Kung's is a grippingly lucid and insightfully thoughtful addition to the field of science and religion.
Word & World
A highly accessible yet academically rigorous project concerning the dialogue between religion and science.
National Jewish Post & Opinion
Kung's brief on behalf of a reasonable accommodation between science and religion and his sensitive rendering of the legitimacy of the religious vocation in life are marvelous and compelling.
Worship
Kung's work is refreshingly intelligent, scientifically informed, respectful of science, self-critical and balanced.
