  Reverend Dr. J. Polkinghorne:

"Professor Schäfer gives a clear and fascinating account of why the ideas of modern physics lead him to a transcendent view of the nature of reality.  Science is the inspiration of a personal belief that takes the reader beyond science itself."

  William McDonald Wallace, Chief Economist (ret), Boeing Airplane Company, and author of "Postmodern Management".

"Focusing on the phenomena of the quantum world as signs of a transcendent reality, Schäfer's book goes a long way to breaking down the traditional barriers between science and the spiritual quest.  I think it will be very difficult to read this book and remain committed to atheistic materialism.  Among other recent, similar attempts, this is the most compelling and thorough one."

"Schäfer's book is an integrative approach to Modern Science and Religion that aims to show how some traditional religious and philosophical notions can be understood or redefined in terms of modern science. The scientific explanations are reliable and the scientific interpretations of religious ideas are interesting and should be taken seriously and respectfully by even the most sober-minded adherents of the scientific world-view. Rather than science being opposed or subordinated to religion, religious views are refashioned in terms of currently accepted scientific theories. Most of the arguments of the book are based on conclusions drawn from the phenomena of quantum reality and it is one of the clearest introductory explanations of quantum mechanics on the market. Schäfer's book is written in a lively and accessible style that will appeal to the general reader. I really enjoyed reading this book."
