Quantum Theology

Resumen

Quantum Theology is a 1997 book by Diarmuid O'Murchu, a priest and social psychologist from Ireland. O'Murchu discusses how certain concepts from the modern quantum theory may point to deep spiritual truths, while admitting that this interpretation does not ring true to mainstream scientists:
"Meanwhile, scholars of other disciplines detect far-reaching implications of the quantum theory for their respective fields leading to radical new understandings of this theory, often baffling and bemusing to mainstream scientists." [pg 29]
O'Murchu takes an overtly feministic and anti-religious stand throughout the book, suggesting that the paternalistic organized religions, as part of aggressive, paternalistic cultures, have divided and weakened the world. He suggests that the solution to this problem is the adoption of a more feministic, holistic spirituality, independent of organized religion.
A revised edition was released in 2004, subtitled The Spiritual Implications of the New Physics. O'Murchu has also published a sort of follow-up book, in which he applies the principles described Quantum Theology to Jesus Christ and his teachings: Catching Up with Jesus: A Gospel Story for Our Time.
