Critics Review
Albert Einstein was, without doubt, the most iconic scientist of the last century. In this lucid little book, Alister McGrath provides an accessible introduction to Einstein’s great scientific discoveries, as well as a careful analysis of his views on the relationship between science and religion. Einstein was a nuanced thinker on the big questions of life, and who better than McGrath to guide us on an exploration of this aspect of Einstein’s legacy. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a fuller picture of Albert Einstein’s life and thought. - Ard Louis, Professor of Theoretical Physics, University of Oxford
