Western Science, Eastern Mysticism and Christian Faith -- A major work in which Griffiths asks us to look afresh at Christianity in the context of modern physics on the one hand and Eastern mysticism on the other. Scientists now acknowledge that quantitative enquiry can reveal only one aspect of reality and that to come to terms with a much deeper transcendent reality we must also be prepared to learn from Eastern traditions. The Western mechanistic model of the universe dating from the time of Galileo and Newton must now be replaced with a new organic model, marking a return to the ancient traditional wisdom in which the universe was seen to consist not only of a physical dimension but also psychological and spiritual dimensions, all of which are interrelated and interdependent.
