Customer Reviews

golden wedding

This is an excellent wedding of science and theology. Far too long have we seen the struggle between the two for gaining real insights to understand more clearly our lifelong responsibilities to ourselves and our environment. The author clearly puts this before us giving us a more complete story that is both current and credible. As he states "it is time to embrace the cosmic and planetary context within which our life story and the story of all life unfolds. We belong to a reality greater than ourselves, and it is within that enlarged context that we will rediscover the benign mystery within which everything is endowed with purpose and meaning." This book will give you the satisfaction that comes with understanding how everything is connected. This is a short book that is worth more than many volumes.

The best blend of science and theology I've ever read

I had long ago left the Christian faith because of its incongruity with science, the environment and the cosmos. O'Murchu has clarified in writing what I have instinctively, intuitively felt for decades but could not express as eloquently as he. Quantum Theology has resurrected what I thought was my spiritually dead self. It is difficult reading, but well worth the effort. I find myself looking at the universe and life from a new and refreshing perspective. Randy Herring's review must have been written by an intellectual show-off. One of the major premises of the book is not how one deals with the world, but rather, how the world deals with us. Our control is imaginary and our understanding ridiculously lacking, and that was one of O'Murchu's major points.
