Physicist Professor Andrew Briggs blends science, philosophy and religion in a fresh take on how science contributes to our understanding of the world.

Briggs and his co-authors philosopher Professor Hans Halvoroson and physicist Professor Andrew Steane start from a belief in God. They look at fundamental physics, machine learning, philosophy of human identity, evolutionary biology, miracles, arguments from design, naturalism, the history of ideas, and more to demonstrate that the natural world can be a pointer to something beyond itself.

Briggs is professor of nanomaterials at the University of Oxford and has a degree in theology. He is also author of The Penultimate Curiosity: How Science Swims in the Slipstream of Ultimate Questions.
