"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 (e.g. Chopra 1989, McFadden 2000, Zohar 1990, 1993, Wheatley 1992) 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 followup book, in which he applies the principles described "Quantum Theology" to Jesus Christ and his teachings: .
