What we have here is a great history of physics science and models leading to recent understanding of matter particles, space and quantum laws. Of course, part of the book is devoted to the role of Christian religion in all this, because the science and its learning methods has evolved thanks to philosophers and theologians. What I have learned with surprise is, that in the middle of XIII century Europe became familiar with translated works of Aristotle's manuscripts.
These manuscripts had been saved by Arabic nations and opened roads for great synthesis of theology with science! I have read other books by Michael Heller Templeton Prize recipient and this one co-authored with George Coyne is probably his best and most approachable.
Though he is a Catholic priest philosopher, mathematician and cosmologist as well he never overstates religion's role. His focus is rather on mathematics, why it exists at all and why it is so important. He states that the Universe is rational in the sense, that it has such properties that we are able to learn and research them in a rational way by discovering and using mathematics. There could be some other Universes without any logic non-mathematical or mathematical but impossible to describe.
Very interesting position for historians and popular science readers.

The entire concept was one that had not been a part of my primary knowledge base. Who would even question that we have "A Comprehensible Universe"! But as the book unfolded, my whole knowledge base expanded amazingly. Many accepted dogmas became much clearer and my questions about conflicting teachings became easily explained.
The history of our thought process in even allowing us to think about phenomena, or question the power of we as children of God to act upon our surroundings or even to accept God as more than a circus manager was wonderfully liberated in this book. A very well presented and thought provoking encounter that leads to the realization that we can own and act upon and understand our universe and our lives without resorting to tea leaves, mysterious powers or extortion relationships with universal powers.
We do have a comprehensible universe and that does not diminish the beauty, the mystery and the profound intensity of our God in our lives. Amazon Giveaway allows you to run promotional giveaways in order to create buzz, reward your audience, and attract new followers and customers.
