Publisher's Summary

An overview of Einstein's theories and what they mean for Christian belief, published on the 100th anniversary of the confirmation of the theory of relativity. 

On 29th May 1919, British astronomers tested Einstein's theory of relativity by measuring the path of the stars travelling near the sun during an eclipse. On 7th November 1919, the results of that experiment were announced in London, proving Einstein's theory of relativity. A Theory of Everything (That Matters) has been written in celebration of this 100th anniversary. 

With the confirmation of Einstein's theories at the beginning of the 20th century, our understanding of the universe became much more complex. What does this mean for religious belief, and specifically Christianity? Does it mean, as so many people assume, the death of God? In A Theory of Everything (That Matters) Alister McGrath - Professor of Science and Religion at Oxford University - explores these questions, giving an overview of Einstein's thought and scientific theories, including his nuanced thinking on the difference between the scientific enterprise and beliefs outside its realm. 

This groundbreaking book is for anyone intrigued by Einstein as one of the 20th century's most iconic figures, who wants to know what his theories mean for religion and who is interested in the conversation between science and religions more broadly.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Not a bad exploration... better that a screaming banshee... but not a silver bullet. May start someone on a journey.
