An amazingly comprehensive survey of the reality that we face! September 3, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Keith Ward, Regius Professor of Divinity Emeritus at Oxford is certainly well equipped to write about religions and religious philosophies. He surveys and compares the great religions of the world and presents their key beliefs in everyday language, which is quite a feat in its own right. He compounds this feat by surveying science and gives a clear account of the very counter-intuitive state that frontier science has now reached. His main aim is to explore whether religions and modern science are compatible, which he does very thoroughly, drawing on immense knowledge and breadth of understanding of the subjects involved. For me, however, the most notable benefits are firstly, the formulation of ten 'big questions' about the nature of reality, and secondly the provision of the fruits of a vast amount of research in clear and understandable terms. The reader gains an up-to-date understanding that would otherwise require considerable ability and a vast amount of time to achieve. Given the facts and the uncertainties so clearly expressed, the reader can draw his own conclusions about his place in the world and respond accordingly.
