$24.95 hbdElectromagnetism (EMI), according to Lawrence Fagg, ultimately underlies all of earthly nature from rocks and plants to humans and their brains. Electromagnetic radiation-light has symbolized divine presence in the spiritual life of humankind for millennia, and yet following the increasing disenchantment of nature, we have lost that contact between the physical and the spiritual.
In this hymn to the natural electrical currents with which we are surrounded and which pulse through us, Lawrence Fagg argues that the ubiquity of electromagnetic phenomena constitutes a powerful physical analogy for the ubiquity of God's indwelling presence. Fagg presents the scientific information in a straightforward and readable manner, and opens up a rich, unexplored area of study between the disciplines of science and religion.
Lawrence W. Fagg is Research Professor of Physics (retired) at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. As well as the author of over 70 articles in physics journals, he is the author of Two Faces of Time and The Becoming of Time.
