"On the threshold of the third millennium, a Christian cannot ignore the special role of science in the transformation of contemporary civilization.... In a lucid, compelling way, Science and Belief in the Nuclear Age describes our responsibility for this intellectual heritage that is so essential for Christian tradition. Hodgson, without claiming science should become religion or religion science, convincingly describes an academic community of intellectual interchange that replaces former conflicts and partial perspectives by a new integral vision of science open to theological truth." Archbishop Joseph Zycinski, Grand Chancellor of the Catholic University of Lublin

"This excellent work is not written just for experts, but for the average Christian." --Paul Cardinal Poupard, President of the Pontifical Council for Culture
