Inhaltsangabe

In Light of Todays Scientific Achievements, Do We Need God Anymore?
Einsteins revolutionary scientific ideas have transformed our world, ushering in the nuclear age. The current pace of scientific and technological progress is simply astounding. So is there any place for faith in such a world?

Einstein himself gave careful thought to the deepest questions of life. His towering intellectual status means he is someone worth listening to when we think through the big questions of life:

• Can science answer all our questions?
• Why is religion so important in life?
• How can we hold together science and faith?

In this book, McGrath examines the life and work of Einstein, explaining his scientific significance and considering what Einstein did and did not believe about science, religion, and the meaning of life.

A Theory of Everything (That Matters) is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the role of faith in a world where science and technology govern our lives.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Albert Einstein remains the worlds favorite genius.
He has appeared on the cover of Time magazine no fewer than six times and was lionized as its Person of the Century in 1999. Einsteins equation E = mc²along with his trademark hairstylehas found its way onto T-shirts and billboards. Yet while Einstein is universally recognized as a genius, his ideas can still mystify us, even a century later.

This concise book sets out to explain in accessible terms Einsteins revolutionary scientific ideas, which still shape our world today. Nobody thinks a scientific genius is infallible. Still, Einsteins genius status means he is profoundly worth listening to, especially when thinking about how we make sense of our universe and God. This book takes seriously Einsteins fascination with a big picture of our worldif you like, a theory of everything that matters.

Einstein is a dialogue partner whose reflections may help us move beyond the fragmentation of ideas and values that has become such a core feature of our own day.

Lets begin that conversation.
