"People looking for an intelligent discussion of some of the difficult questions that come up when one is serious about faith and serious about science should look at Questions of Truth. This little book is a refreshing contrast to the polemic and misinformation that have characterized much of the writing in this area." - William Phillips, Nobel Prize winning physicist
How did the universe begin? Can God's existence be proven? Do humans matter more than animals?
For many years people have sent the scientist-turned-priest John Polkinghorne these and other questions about science and belief. In question-and-answer format, Polkinghorne and his collaborator Nicholas Beale offer their highly informed opinions about some of the most frequently asked questions. Readers can follow their own paths through the book, selecting questions that interest them and looking at the additional material if they choose. This unique book will help Christians clarify their beliefs regarding difficult issues and better face challenges - from within and from others - to their faith.

This book was an interesting read but it does contain some very detailed scientific and philosophical concepts. If you're looking for something easy to read then this isn't it. It would also be more appropriately attributed to Nicholas Beale and John Polkinghorne as the majority of the writing is undertaken by Beale.
