Customer Reviews

tough read worth the wading

admittedly a tough read, and i can see why the empircally linearly minded have great difficulty with it. It is after all theology which tends to be difficult to get through when scholarly. What O'Murchu offers is another lens to look at the world and the cosmos that every bit as valid as those more rigid sources. What i dont like about it is that for theology, it lacks foundation . . .is a bit wishy washy. But i gave it five stars because of its audacity and unique approach. We are living in a transitional time of paradigm shifting . . . many disciplines attest to that . . . we need the fresh insights that can be gleaned from those scholars who think and write outside the box. Thank you O'Murchu.

A New Approach Toward Spirituality

I recommend this book to all men and women, young or old, who are searching for an understanding of the sacred and their own spirituality. It was an eye-opener to meet people whose spiritual life is at a crossroads. They find no comfort or consolation in their current church and are searching to find a way to deepen their spiritual life. This is a book for them. It is an opportunity to discover new perspectives on the sense of the sacred through a better appreciation of the cosmos, the universe.

this shift in perspective is long overdue

Quantum theology has been the perfect book for where I'm at spiritually right now. Much of what O'Murchu says resonates with me in a very deep way. Having ended my tumultuous love affair with traditional Chrisitianity some time ago, Quantum Theology affirms my sense that I can still have faith, hope, and divine experience in daily life. I recommend this book highly.

Better Than Caffine

Reading this provocative book gave me a decaffinated boost.Though a priest I am only an amatuer as a theologian. And I have no credentials as a scientist. But I suspect that we learn as much about the reviewer from a book review as we do about the book being reviewed (or its author). Every 6 months or so I find "THE" book. QUANTUM THEOLOGY (which I plan to use as the text for a discussion group) is my candidate for the current 6 month period. Others which have held high esteem for me at one time or another are: ART & PHYSICS, L. Shlain, M.D. THE CREATORS, D. Boorstin OUR FATHERS' WELLS, P. Pitzelle CATCHING THE LIGHT, A Zajong GOD, A Biography, J. Miles EQUUS, P. Shaffer THE TURBULENT MIRROR, Briggs & Peat A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY,(what's his name, excuse me, I'm having a Senior Moment. Author of WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP) PURE DRIVEL, S. Martin MAKING FRIENDS WITH YOUR SHADOW, D. Augsburger MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, R. Bolt TIME & NUMBER, M.L. von Franz EYE OF THE NEEDLE, K. Follett MEDITATION FOR A YOUNG BOY CONFIRMED, A. Paton A NATURAL HISTORY OF THE SENSES, D. Ackerman INSEARCH, J. Hillman WISHFUL THINKING, F. Bueckner BRER RABBIT & THE TAR BABY, J.C. Harris (various variations on the story of) JOB, Hebrew Scripture, W. Saffire, Wm. Blake, Archibald MacLeish, C.G. Jung, E. Edinger, etc.BOTTOM LINE: A hope readers of QUANTUM THEOLOGY can take the author's word for it that he's offering, not a set of answers, but an invitation to explore. May his tribe increase
