Natural Grace is a groundbreaking and meaningful exchange between an accomplished scientist and a dynamic theologian that will forever change the way students view the interplay between science and religion. The dialogues demonstrate a remarkable consonance between these hitherto opposing camps, revealing that a synthesis of science and spirituality is not only possible but unavoidable given the extraordinary insights the authors have gained in the course of their work. Fox, a leader of creation spirituality, and Sheldrake, who pioneered the revolutionary theory of morphic resonance, together explore a variety of ancient and modern topics, including ritual, prayer, quantum mechanics, the soul, and the Cartesian "ghost in the machine." In so doing, they free the debate from the dogmas of the past and provide the basis for the belief that a longstanding psychic split between mind and spirit can be healed.

 
Matthew Fox has authored 20 books, including Original Blessing, and is President of Oakland, California's University of Creation Spirituality. Rupert Sheldrake is a former research fellow of the Royal Society and was Director of Studies in biochemistry and cell biology at Clare College, Cambridge University. He is the author of several books, including Seven Experiments That Could Change the World.
