The Faith of a Physicist
Reflections of a Bottom-Up Thinker
Book • 1994
Based on the prestigious 1993-94 Gifford Lectures, 'The Faith of a Physicist' presents John Polkinghorne's theological belief system, which aligns broadly with Christian orthodoxy.
The book examines the Nicene Creed and explores topics such as the nature of humanity, the concept of God as creator, the Big Bang Theory, and the presence of the divine within reality.
Polkinghorne approaches faith as a journey of intellectual discovery akin to scientific inquiry, rigorously explaining how he came to embrace Christian beliefs from a bottom-up perspective.
The work addresses both scientists and theologians, theists and atheists, offering a powerful message about faith seeking understanding.
