Trinity and an Entangled World

Relationality in Physical Science and Theology
Langbeschreibung
Twentieth-century science discovered that the physical world is deeply relational. In fact, the phenomenon of quantum entanglement implies that even the subatomic world cannot simply be treated atomistically. With that in mind, thirteen distinguished scholars from physics and theology here explore the role of relationality in both science and religion. Besides containing expert accounts -- both scientific and theological -- this volume provides careful assessment of the significance that these insights have for the interdisciplinary discussion of a consonant relationship between science and religion -- a topic of considerable importance. The Trinity and an Entangled World offers a uniquely authoritative and illuminating discussion and will prove to be an important contribution to the literature concerned with science and religion.
John Polkinghorne, KBE FRS (born in 1930) is an English theoretical physicist, theologian, and Anglican priest. A prominent and leading voice explaining the relationship between science and religion, he was professor of mathematical physics at the University of Cambridge from 1968 to 1979, became an ordained Anglican priest in 1982 and served as the president of Queens' College, Cambridge, from 1988 to 1996. Michael Welker, (born in 1947) was a professor of theology at the German universities of Tubingen, Munster, and Heidelberg and frequently a guest professor in the Anglo-American world (McMaster, Princeton, Harvard, Emory, and Cambridge). He is an honorary professor at Seoul Theological University, senior professor at the University of Heidelberg, and director of its Research Center International and Interdisciplinary Theology (FIIT). He has organized many international and interdisciplinary research projects that related theology and science, theology and law, theology and economy.
