Synopsis

Bringing Religion and Science into harmony, this book argues that spirit underpins matter and motion.

It gathers letters and essays that challenge pure materialism and offer a spiritual lens on scientific ideas, from atoms to cosmic processes.

This edition presents a concise, readable case for how religious insight can coexist with scientific inquiry. It surveys theories about light, heat, electricity, and the nature of matter, arguing that spirit originates with Deity and animates both mind and material world. The result is a thoughtful, accessible perspective on the big questions at the intersection of science and belief.

• Explore how the author links spirit to physical forces and the growth of scientific ideas.
• See discussions on light, heat, atoms, and the development of scientific theories through a religious lens.
• Understand arguments that religion and science can support and enrich each other.
• Encounter historical context about how beliefs about matter and spirit shaped ideas across eras.

Ideal for readers curious about the dialogue between science and faith, and for those who want a nontechnical, philosophical take on how spiritual and material explanations might fit together.
