Disappointing
This book was written by a panel of scholars who cumulate PhDs in physics, philosophy and theology, and are more of the "liberal" trend (either evolutionists, Neotheist, Postmodern...). The different essays present a variety of views, but are highly speculative. I do not want to question the value of these scholars, I just think that they have to speculate so much because we know so little about Chaos theory or Quantum Mechanics.
The book is anyway a worthy attempt, given that unclear fields such as Chaos Theory or Quantum Mech. belong as much to physics as to Theology or to Philosophy. All interpretations seem possible.

Thought provoking
An important study for our entrance into an age unfettered by a religious system repressing scientific progress, moving toward the merging of science and new religious study.
