A celebrated Oxford scholar and popular speaker, Alister McGrath explores what the discoveries of Einstein mean for faith. Einstein's revolutionary scientific ideas have transformed our world, ushering in the nuclear age and facilitating the daily communication that occurs between satellites and our ever-present smart phones. Einstein's intellectual status means he is someone worth listening to when it comes to the big questions of life: does God exist? Or, can human beings make moral judgments? In A Theory of Everything (That Matters), McGrath takes a deep look into the life and work of one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century, a man whose theory of relativity stunned the world. But tragically, some of Einstein's ideas have been used by agnostic and atheistic thinkers to claim that religion doesn't have a place in the modern world. McGrath challenges these interpretations of Einstein by examining in precise detail what Einstein did and did not believe about religion, God, and the role of faith. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the role of faith in a world where scientific technology governs our lives
