Book review: Einstein and Religion: Physics and Theology by Max Jammer
Drake, JM. 2000.  PSCF 52(3):205. CELD ID 14912

Abstract
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind," declared Albert Einstein in 1940 to the Conference on Science, Philosophy, and Religion. This dictum summarizes Einstein’s belief about the relationship between science and religion, and is the subject of Jammer’s investigation which proceeds in three steps. First, Jammer explores Einstein’s religiosity and private life. Second, he delves into biographies, addresses, and essays to extract Einstein’s philosophy of religion. Finally, Jammer concludes with an overview of modern physics’ impact on contemporary theology.
