Where did we come from? Where are we going? Why? These are some of the questions addressed in this book by some of the world's most distinguished scientists. Through intimate conversations with leading scientists who hold religious beliefs (including two Nobel Laureates), the reader is invited to explore the connections and conflicts between the scientific and the religious approaches to truth. Subjects range from the existence and nature of god to the role of spirituality in modern science. The result is a mosaic of unguarded accounts of how two of the major cultural forces can work together to offer unique insights into the ultimate questions of our existence. W. Mark Richardson teaches at the General Theological Seminary in New York. He is the co-editor of Science: History, Method, Dialogue (Routledge, 1996).
