Great Lenten devotional. It is always refreshing to read the words of someone who doesn't see an inerrant disconnect or some fanatical war between science and faith. Polkinghorne is a physicist and a priest and he brings both of those perspectives into his devotions, speaking of the wonders of creation, the amazing way our world works and struggling with many of the hard questions of faith in a unique way. Highly recommend this devotional.
