In this hymn to the natural electrical currents with which we are surrounded and which pulse through us, Lawrence Fagg argues that the ubiquity of electromagnetic phenomena constitutes a powerful physical analogy for the ubiquity of God's indwelling presence.

Review
"The concepts involved are distilled clearly and flavored with engaging biographical anecdotes about many of the contributors to the field….This book's clear presentation of the science of electromagnetism is complemented throughout by a scholarly awareness of religion and a sophisticated theological sense of analogy. Fagg has written a unique, accessible and insightful work that should prove to be an important contribution to contemporary conversations in science and religion."--Research News

--John F. Haught, Professor of Theology at Georgetown University, Research News in Science and Theology.
"Fagg is to be commended for his clear exposition of a new and exciting metaphor for the relationship between God and the world, and the corresponding relation between spirit and matter within the world."
--Joseph A. Bracken, S.J., Spritus Winter 2001
"this is a short, readable and informative book for students of science and religion. It can be warmly recommended to those who require an introduction to the classical and quantum theories of electromagnetism and hence of their importance in understanding the nature of both inanimate matter and living beings."
--Science and Christian Belief 13.2
"…Fagg opens up the rich and unexplored dimension of electromagnetism for the theologians and challenges them to take physics critically and creatively…This book is a significant contribution to interfacing science and religion." -Jnanadeepa, 01/04

Disappointed,
By Chemisse (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electromagnetism and the Sacred: At the Frontier of Spirit and Matter (Hardcover)
I was not pleased with this book. It seemed more like a dissertation, where a single, narrow theme is being presented and supported, than a book that assimilates information then goes on to show how it applies or interelates to other ideas.I found Dean Radin's Entangled Minds to be much more illuminating.
