[They] have thought deeply, conversed widely and articulated coherent ways of making sense of the world that does justice both to the Christian commitment and scientific integrity." -- David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer "[The authors] have produced an eminently readable and profoundly thoughtful and thought-provoking text that takes seriously both the developments of contemporary science and the insights of theistic religion. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" -- C. D. Kay, Wofford College, CHOICE connect "The authors of this wide-ranging book, three committed Christians versed in science and philosophy, explain their perspective with a clarity that will stimulate readers, of any faith or none, who share their wonder at the mystery of existence." -- Lord Rees, Astronomer Royal, President of the Royal Society 2005-2010 "The three authors of this book have two important things in common: each is an internationally acclaimed name in one of the most exciting areas of modern physics, the foundations of quantum mechanics and/or the cutting-edge application of it known as quantum information, and each is a devout and unapologetic Christian believer. In this book they try to convey, in simple language which requires no background expertise in either quantum physics or theology, the ways in which for them the latter enthusiasm informs, and is informed by, the former." -- Sir Anthony Leggett, Nobel Prize in Physics 2003 "Many people believe there ought to be a creative dialogue between science and faith, but don't know how to get started.

Description

It Keeps Me Seeking : The Invitation from Science, Philosophy, and Religion, Hardcover by Briggs, Andrew; Halvorson, Hans; Steane, Andrew, ISBN 0198808283, ISBN-13 9780198808282, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Here is a fresh look at how science contributes to the bigger picture of human flourishing, through a collage of science and philosophy, richly illustrated by the authors' own experience and personal reflection. They survey the territory of fundamental physics, machine learning, philosophy of
human identity, evolutionary biology, miracles, arguments from design, naturalism, the history of ideas, and more. The natural world can be appreciated not only for itself, but also as an eloquent gesture, a narrative and a pointer beyond itself. Our human journey is not to a theorem or a treatise,
but to a meeting which encompasses all our capacities. In this meeting, science is the way to find out about the structure of the physical world of which we are a part, not a means to reduce ourselves and our fellow human beings to mere objects of scrutiny, and still less to attempt the utterly
futile exercise of trying to do that to God. We have intellectual permission to be open to the notion that God can be trusted and known. The material world encourages an open-hearted reaching out to something more, with a freedom to seek and to be received by what lies beyond the scope of purely
impersonal descriptions and attitudes.

  1. Absolutely love this book! The way it weaves together science, philosophy, and religion is both insightful and engaging. It's not just informative—it invites deep reflection and connects big ideas with real-life meaning. Perfect for curious minds looking to explore life's biggest questions. The hardcover feels premium, and the writing is accessible yet profound. A must-read for those who enjoy thoughtful discussions!
