An excellent contribution to the science vs religion debate, although written before the current polemic espoused by Dawkins et al. A must-read if you want to get a balanced viewpoint.The author, David Goyder, explores the nature of reality and what is truth, and finds that it takes him into the heart of the Christian faith. It is a very clear, concise and stimulating read, even if you are non-religious.
David Goyder entered the Civil Service immediately before the war, in which he served with the R.A.F. mainly in the Western Desert and in Greece.
In later years he resigned from the Civil Service in order to do something practical. Buying a piece of land in a remote corner of Suffolk, he set to work to build, on his own, a rather large house, learning each trade as he went along Ñ often with the help of library books.
A life-long Anglican with a lively interest in theology, he planned this book during the solitary months spent in brick-laying.
