Physics of Angels: Exploring the Realm Where Science and Spirit Meet

Very supportive book to belief in Angels. Must read for those who belive in Angels.

The dialogue is stimulating, mind stretching, and sometimes mind boggling. Personally I have had a number of mystical experiences, not necessarily thinking of angels. I've thought and said things like beings of light, rays of light, light filled, moments of oneness, sudden knowing. Perhaps angels were involved. Some of what was written here in this book seems highly speculative. I don't think solid conclusions can be made on a lot of it. I did enjoy it, and I'll likely go through it again.

The Physics of Angels well deserves a five star rating. The ideas presented from what would seem to be two divergence points of view, theology and 'science', is brought into focus as a unified field of view. Would that more people would read this book. Louise Wilson, Qualicum Beach

This is a fascinating little book. the existence of angels is assumed from the start, without a scintilla of corroborating evidence, and Bill Ockham keeps his razor folded away in a back pocket. I enjoyed it anyway. Matthew Fox's heart's in the right place, and Rupert Sheldrake is the kind of Anglican who thinks the sun is probably alive. What's not to love? Utterly bonkers, but perhaps no more so than what Sheldrake says about the photon, for which there is no shortage of corroboration. I read it like The Hunting of the Snark, and thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

Le livre est arrive dans un parfait etat. Merci. les deux ecrivains sont peut-etre sympathiques mais j'attendais autre chose sur cet sujet interessant.

First, to like this book you need to have a high tolerance for the verbiage of the New Age Christian movement. I don't. Second, if looking for a definitive or scientific thrust, i.e., the word "physics" indicates that, I didn't perceive or read it demonstrably present. Third, if you are not an ardent follower of some of the Christian saints and revered figures, i.e., St Thomas Aquinas, Hlldegard of Bingen, and Dionysuis the Areopagite, it may not hold your interest. Fourth, I must confess that the speech patterns of Matthew Fox, as this is a supposed transcription of a series of conversations between Rupert Sheldrake and Fox, are quite irritating to me, so there is my admitted bias factor. I was expecting more from Dr. Sheldrake as he touches on many areas that need scientific enquiry, but this was not satisfying of my curiosity, I'm afraid. In brief, it may be perfectly satisfying for someone seeking to find ardent and sincere views on angels and reflections on their nature through the eyes (words) of the above named Christian notables as discussed by Messers Fox and Sheldrake. But in terms of any philosophy of science and its approach to that subject in this context, I thought it rather weak in that dimension.
