For many years, people from across the world have sent the scientist-turned-theologian John Polkinghorne questions about science and belief. In Q&A format, Polkinghorne and Beale offer captivating responses. Readers can follow their own paths through the book, selecting questions that interest them and looking at the additional material if they choose. Questions of Truth is a book that explores the rich harmonies between science and belief.

One major topic for the authors is “anthropic fine-tuning.” There are six apparently fundamental constants in nature whose values have to be very close to their presently observed values if any intelligent, carbon-based life is to come into being anywhere in the universe. The Appendix spends an additional 16 pages on this question.

Another topic is the mind-brain relationship, about 20 pages of Appendix contribute to this question.

Evolution is covered, not only in questions but in another 14 pages of Appendix.

New Release: January 2009
