More on spirituality, less on science
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
If you are looking to hear more on the "new paradigm" in science, this is probably not the book for you. While the book touches on the scientific side of "new thinking", it is largly about new perspectives in Christian theology. Personally I have always had major issues with conventional Christian theology. This is the first source I have ever read that presents a more open and "inclusive" take what I had always considered a very "exclusive" and closed religion. The book is particularly interesting, but the last chapter (social implications on "new paradigm" thinking) starts to lose momentum, becoming less significant rambling.
What I was looking for
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I had been reading Capra's books and had the impression that in his explorations and the questions that arose for him, he seemed to have arrived at the door of Mystery. I wondered if he experienced it that way. When I found this book, it seemed like a logical next step in his exploration, as if he felt that a person steeped in spirituality might be a little more at home with the Mystery that he seemed to have encountered. I'm glad to have found it.
An Intriguing Project
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The format of the book is to record the conversation between three men regarding science, theology, spirituality, and human nature. I found the discussions of theology in particular to be interesting, as one of the discussants is a monk. The topics are covered in a non-dogmatic way, with a genuine questing spirituality evident. Without descending into New Age pap, the book explores fresh ways of approaching tradition in science and religion.
