Conversation Among Friends

While on vacation, I have read much of John Polkinghorne's book "The Faith of a Physicist", from his 1993-1994 Gifford lectures at Edinburgh.

Polkinghorne, at publication, was President of Queen's College, Cambridge and Fellow of the Royal Society.  A former Professor of Mathematical Physics, he is also an ordained priest in the Church of England. 

While an Anglican, Polkinghorne takes full advantage of the well-vetted and time tested Nicene Creed in naming his chapters and evaluating Christian faith in light of the conjectures of modern physics.

I would say there are a few gems here but the reading is not for those seeking a quick and light diversion.  I certainly would not recommend it for vacation.
