This book is over 35 years old and not particularly well-written. A professional contact gave it to me during a business meeting and thought I'd like it. It has one main point repeated over and over. The author wants scientists to research spiritual and religious beliefs with the same rigor as other scientific endeavors. He uses the word humble repeatedly to explain why he thinks this doesn't happen; religious leaders are so sure of their beliefs being right that they don't want to humble themselves to the possibility of better researched truth and beliefs. Some passages are New Age and some are fundamental Christian, with other representations as well. I don't recommend this book.

You'll learn that science and religion can co-exist quite beautifully and that science and the application of the scientific method just may be the key to experiencing a paradigm shift in theologic matters.

The book will also show you that keeping an open mind towards God and religion is an important aspect on your spiritual journey. Why ridicule and "fight against" other religions when you can embrace them and build upon your own beliefs with some of their beliefs that you weren't originally familiar with? Why deny God when our limited thought processes can't even begin to comprehend the concept and actuality of God?

The book was written in the 1980's. Read through the first 10 pages, then realized that there are now so many other more updated book in this subject.
