Sleuthing the Divine: The Nexus of Science and Spirit
Science and the spiritual quest come
together in this work to produce a reliable
and engaging introduction to the chief
questions raised at the nexus of science and
religion. Sharpe, a leader in the field,
ably and engagingly seeks the reality of God
in the world, even as he eschews traditional
theological terms and authorities. Well-
versed in the latest developments in physics
and cosmology, biology and neuroscience,
Sharpe provides fascinating accounts of how
contemporary knowledge expands our notions
of reality, and he queries the new
scientific gurus for the substance and
religious pertinence of their visions.
Sharpe shows how they bear on questions of
the origins of the universe, how divine
action might be understood, immanence and
transcendence, human freedom, morality, the
presence of evil, and the mystery at the
heart of the universe. This text can be
viewed as a mini-course in philosophy of
religion as affected by contemporary science.

Reviews
"Clearly, one benefit of this well-developed book is to see what one can claim by science alone and where the dead ends are. ... Those interested in a theory of everything will enjoy the book. Sharpe's work is well referenced and raises issues at the science-religion interface that invite further sudy."
