I don't know about his most recent book, but I would recomend
"Belief in God in an Age of Science". Polkinghorne was a particle
physicist before becoming a theologian, and he tends to reason
like a physicist. For example, he tries to explain *how* miracles
might occur. You can decide for yourself if you agree or not, but
frankly, I would like to see more Christians who carry the badge
of science wrestling with that very issue.
He keeps with a sound theology, and I think, if one at least accepts
the premise that the apostles were honest (a rare consent these days
in some camps), he puts forward an interesting argument for accepting
the resurrection.
