God & the Big Bang Discovering Harmony Between Science & Spirituality Book

Drawing on the insights of physics and Jewish mysticism, Matt uncovers the sense of wonder and oneness that connects us with the universe and God. He describes in understandable terms the parallels between modern cosmology and ancient Jewish Kabbalah. He shows how science and religion together can enrich our spiritual understanding.

A dialogue between the physical and the spiritual, the scientific and the theological, God & the Big Bang is a deeply personal, thoughtful and challenging statement of our place in the universe.
"The human mind has devised alternative strategies-scientific and spiritual-to search for our origin. The two are distinct, but complementary. Science enables us to probe infinitesimal particles of matter and unimaginable depths of outer space, understanding each in light of the other. Spirituality guides us through inner space, challenging us to retrace our path to oneness and to live in the light of what we discover."
