Charles Birch has done it again.
Whether or not you agree with his theological conclusions, this beautifully written, carefully reasoned book will make you think.
It is especially recommended to those who think that science has all of the answers.
Paul R. Ehrlich
In this bold new excursion into the deep issues of existence, Birch draws on the experiences of scientists, theologians, philosophers and ecologists to develop a challenging philosophy that will help us make sense of the world and order our lives in a more meaningful way.
This is an important contribution to the science/religion. dialogue. Paul Davies, author of The Mind of God.
This inspiring new book by award-winning Australian thinker Charles Birch argues that only the rebirth ot compassion—for ourselves, each other and our planet can save us from disaster.
Still reeling from an age in which greed and self-regard has made us lose our sense of connectedness with fellow humans and with nature, Birch presents a persuasive argument that only compassion has the power to enrich and heal a world which too often seems senseless, unintelligible and accidental.
What the critic said about Charles Birch's last book On Purpose: "Science without losing your soul ...
A grand vision." The Age "On Purpose is a kaleidescope of a book. Birch is an ebullient polymath
He writes as he lives: with passion, elegance and humour." New Scientist
