Krista Tippett explores where science meets spirituality through conversations with leading thinkers. Drawing from her Peabody Award-winning radio program, she interviews scientists like Freeman Dyson, Janna Levin, Parker Palmer, and John Polkinghorne. These discussions reveal how researchers devoted to empirical truth often discover spiritual meaning in their experimental work. The conversations uncover questions that bridge scientific inquiry and theological reflection. Tippett shows that the boundary between laboratory and sanctuary is more porous than many assume. The book demonstrates how scientific minds grapple with wonder, meaning, and transcendence alongside data and theory.
