This was a truly phenomenal study into the nature of the universe and its connection with the divine. Torrance's declaration of the universe's contingency, both its independent distinction from God and its dependence upon the action of God, is a wonderful binding together of Early Church philosophy and Einsteinian Relativity. I found my perceptions challenged at every turn, and I scratched my head more than once at the complexity of it all. And I loved every bit of it.
A fantastic read all around; just be prepared for mental overloads now and then.

This collection of essays explores the theology of the cosmos, and the relationship between science and theology more incisively and profoundly than any we are likely to read in our lifetimes.
