Welcome to the fifth (and final) week of our blog book discussion on Quantum Physics and Theology by John Polkinghorne. We’re going a chapter a week through the book with posts and discussion here (chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3, chapter 4). Since the final chapter is fairly brief, we’ll cover it along with some overall thoughts to wrap up this discussion.

Welcome to the start of our blog book discussion of Quantum Physics and Theology by John Polkinghorne. Each week for the next 5 weeks, I’ll post some initial thoughts on a chapter to get the ball rolling, and hopefully we’ll get some discussion going in the comments. For those that like more interactive discussion, we’ll have video chats too. Based on your feedback, we’ll go on a biweekly schedule: every other Wednesday night at 9pm Eastern on Google Hangout, starting next week (9/27). The new night is in response to reported availability, plus I think having the post and the chat on the same day will make it easier to remember. Now, with the preamble out of the way, let’s get started on chapter 1!
