Science shines a bright light on the key attribute that can and must play in a mature spirituality: the inherent and profound relationality and interconnectedness that defines a creatively evolving and emergent universe . . . and us. This book offers an accessible introduction to the dialogue between science and spirituality, exploring how scientific understanding can deepen spiritual insight. Drawing on his background in hard sciences and Ignatian spirituality, Cressler provides a unique perspective that bridges technical knowledge with contemplative practice.
