Polkinghorne is a world authority in the field of science and religion. He has written numerous books in this area, and his thinking is hugely influential. This book brings together his thoughts on several core issues in the debate: God, science and technology, and Christianity.
This book will appeal to readers who are new to Polkinghorne’s thought and who are just beginning to investigate the interplay between science and religion. It will also appeal to those who have read his smaller books, but would like one handy resource which brings his thought together, and to students studying science and religion.
Created by an active practitioner in this field, Church of England priest and curator of the alternative worship experience Blesséd, Simon Rundell provides examples, vision and practical know-how to enable readers to create and engage in alternative worship which is innovative, missionary and creative, using the richness of tradition and the depth of the catholic and orthodox spiritualities.
This work provides a DVD of material for the reader to adapt and implement as well as a wealth of ideas for the reader’s own expressions of postmodern worship.
On 7 July 2005, Julie Nicholson's life was changed forever. Her daughter, Jenny, was killed on her way to work in the London bombings, shaking Julie's beliefs. With heartbreaking honesty and integrity, Julie tells her story of love, tragedy and heartache for the first time.
