Light from the East: Theology, Science, and the Eastern Orthodox Tradition (Theology and the Sciences)

Summary: A highly erudite and complex discussion
Review: Light From The East: Theology, Science, And The Eastern Orthodox Tradition by Alexei V. Nesteruk (a researcher in cosmology and quantum physics), presents a new perspective on the conflicts between science and religion. Revealing unique contributions from the Orthodox tradition of Greek Patristic thought that apply to human understanding of God in our world in a way that Western traditions do perceive as adroitly, Light From The East persuasively addresses a vision of harmony between Orthodox vision and cosmology that incorporates the irreversibility of Time, humanity as universal hypostasis, and more. A highly erudite and complex discussion, Light From The East is a welcome and recommended addition to Religious Studies collections and Christian Theology reading lists.
