I am myself a Christian, a member of a community that preserves an ancient heritage of great literature and great music, provides help and counsel to young and old when they are in trouble, educates children in moral responsibility, and worships God in its own fashion. But I find Polkinghorne’s theology altogether too narrow for my taste. I have no use for a theology that claims to know the answers to deep questions but bases its arguments on the beliefs of a single tribe. I am a practicing Christian but not a believing Christian. To me, to worship God means to recognize that mind and intelligence are woven into the fabric of our universe in a way that altogether surpasses our comprehension.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeman_Dyson#cite_note-62
Since The *** of Hope and the End of the World apparently is indeed a book by John Polkinghorne, I think it must mean that. I don't really understand why "from" is used instead of the more usual "by".
