Within God is waiting for us as a Lover and a Beloved

Within is a poetic symphony in seven movements. Bridging science, philosophy, and religion, it examines such questions as: Does God exist? What is God? Does mathematics bring us to God? Does evolution bring us to God? In dialogue form, it discusses philosophical ideas drawn from Plato, Augustine, Aquinas, and Leibniz, and also celebrates the great Carmelite Doctors Thérèse of Lisieux, Teresa of Avila, and John of the Cross. The story unfolds in a limitless library surrounded by a garden of Forms. We encounter a blind librarian, an ocean of Truth, and a cathedral of Infinity. Rising ever higher, the garden scales hills and mountain ranges. The mystery of the library and what it signifies permeates all seven movements. Only at the end will we find a resolution.

Reviews for Within

""Part dialogue, part reverie, part dream, this unique book is an intellectual and spiritual ascent that will leave the reader forever changed."" --STEPHEN M. BARR, emeritus, University of Delaware ""Martin Nowak's Within is not merely a book to be read, but a journey to be lived--a testament to the grandeur of creation and the inexhaustible depths of divine mystery."" --SANTIAGO SCHNELL, University of Notre Dame ""Seldom is scientific brilliance coupled with poetic virtuosity, but Martin Nowak is that rare combination. His Within should help convince a new generation that empirical knowledge and religious faith are not at odds."" --TIMOTHY P. JACKSON, Emory University ""Within escorts the reader to a realm of Platonic idealism and Christian sanctity where mathematics, science, philosophy, and theology converge in a unique vision of divine and human love."" --SARAH COAKLEY, emerita, University of Cambridge ""Through an extended dialogue, Within weaves together evolution and mathematics, science and Platonic Forms, naturalism and God. The result is like nothing I have ever read before."" --MARTIN PUCHNER, Harvard University ""Within offers a compelling account of how mathematics and biology lead to God, fused with spiritual meditations on Divine Love that are astonishingly beautiful and profoundly moving."" --ANDREW LOKE, Hong Kong Baptist University ""Martin Nowak takes readers on a journey of profound scientific discovery and deep religious contemplation."" --MIRELA OLIVA, University of St. Thomas ""Reminiscent of Thérèse of Lisieux's Story of a Soul, this is not just a book to be read, but a path to be walked."" --PHILIP CLAYTON, Claremont School of Theology
