It also addresses one of cosmology's unknowns, the destiny of the self in the vastness of space, a topic that has caused angst since the dawn of modern science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines, accordingly, the signs of a \"New Copernican Turn\" within contemporary culture, favouring the self and its meaningful encounters with the infinite universe, at the forefront of which being the quest for a physics that views something akin to the self as undergirding reality, not as an inconsequential byproduct of natural phenomena. The book further shows that theological, spiritual, and religious forms of nature contemplation and wonder facilitate the self's creative intersection with the universe. It amounts to an exercise in science-engaged Orthodox theology that takes contemporary cosmology as a starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe intended audience of this book is scholars and researchers of science and religion, religious studies, philosophers, and theologians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doru Costache,Geraint F.
