Book review: Einstein, Polanyi and the Laws of Nature by Lydia Jaeger | Bishop, RC. 2011.
PSCF 63(4):286-287. CELD ID 24967Abstract Let me start this review of Lydia Jaeger's Einstein, Polanyi and the Laws of Nature by seconding her view that "Let us not merely try to understand the extraordinary actions of the Lord, but let us also, and perhaps first and foremost try to think about how he usually acts in his creation" (p. 216). So much of the science and religion literature focuses on miracles and extraordinary interventions without first getting its bearings on how God normally acts in creation. Fixing more attention on God's normal ways of working in creation is Jaeger's best idea.
