Oliver Robinson brings a refreshingly creative approach to the
dialogue between science and spirituality. Contextualising his
thinking in a penetrating historical overview, he demonstrates
clearly the ways in which a grasp of spirituality can illumine a
range of scientific areas, most especially the study of
psychological processes. In my view, his concluding map of the
landscape in which science and spirituality intersect will become a
valuable guide for those working in this area for many years to
come.--B. Les Lancaster, Emeritus Professor of Transpersonal
Psychology, Liverpool John Moores University
The relationship between science and spirituality is a key issue in
our time. In this brilliant, wide-ranging and engaging book, Oliver
Robinson gives us a fresh take on this interface, proposing an
informative new model of complementary adapted to our age of
inter-connectedness. He also shows how we can integrate theory and
experience, head and heart in our own lives. This is a stimulating
and significant contribution to the field, which deserves to be
widely read.--David Lorimer, Programme Director, Scientific and
Medical Network, author of Whole in One
This book plays a vital role in building a bridge between science
and spirituality, demonstrating that they are natural partners in
the evolution of our understanding of the universe and providing a
comprehensive account of attempts to synthesise them. I
particularly commend its dialectical structure, which puts the
topic in a broader context than usual.--Bernard Carr, Professor of
Mathematics and Astronomy at Queen Mary University of London
'...explains the paradox of the unity of science and spirituality.
Oliver Robinson shows that these two ways of looking at the world,
so often seen as opposing forces, actually come from the same
source...'--Jennifer Kavanagh, Author of The World is Our Cloister
