Science and the Trinity (again)

I first mentioned John Polkinghorne's book, Science and the Trinity: The Christian Encounter with Reality (here). The book is ordered, and should be in the next amazon.com box to land on the front deck, but I just read another review of the book in the current issue of Books and Culture.

"Science and the Trinity...expands on the scientist-theologian's 2003 Warfield Lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary. The title and subtitle convey the distinctives of Polkinghorne's approach. On the one hand, as the title suggests, this is not really a treatise on"science and religion," with religion left so ill-defined that the book will frustrate practitioners of any actual faith. Polkinghorne is convinced that Trinitarian theology, anchored in the "scandalous particularity of the incarnation," is a better vantage point for engaging science than religion in the abstract. On the other hand, as the subtitle suggests, twenty years of work as a theoretical physicist have led Polkinghorne to the conviction that science delivers truth about reality, and he is determined not to evade the implications that reality may have for the theory and practice of Christian faith. His account of science and Christian theology succeeds unusually well in doing justice to both sides of the conversation."

Come on Mr. UPS man. I can't wait to get this book.
