Biologos is currently posting a series called "Quantum Leap." the latest posting (part 6) continues the discussion of one of my heroes, John Polkinghorne.
Polkinghorne is a physicist and Anglican priest who has written on the relationship between science and religion. He has made a great impact in both those spheres (at Cambridge University) believing that they are not incompatible.
Dean Nelson writes of Polkinghorne,
Without intending to be, Polkinghorne himself is a spiritual director to countless scientists, priests, students and parishioners around the world. Through his teaching, writing, speaking and friendships, he assists those who lack certainty – which is most of us – to test everything, and hold fast to what is true.
He has certainly been a spiritual director of sorts to me. I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy reading his stuff. If you are interesting in delving into the mind of this great and deep thinker, I would recommend you start with his book, Quarks, Chaos, and Christianity: Questions to Science and Religion.
And check out the entire series of posts on Quantum Leap at Biologos. There you will learn more about John Polkinghorne.
