He urges his readers to examine these papers and assures us that 'their contents are not technical,' but we do not find a summary of the contents of these papers anywhere in the volume. The book rambles, interprets its sources rather freely, is full of cliches, and lacks any redeeming intellectual value." -Excerpt of book review on "Science, Theology and Einstein" by
Harold I. Brown inAmerican Scientist , Mar/Apr 1984, Vol 72, p. 218"He also seems unaware that the majority of contemporary
physicists do not support the kind ofrealism which Einstein maintained, holding instead an instrumentalist/positivist view of scientific theory. ... Both [Paul's] overdependence on Einstein'sepistemology and his failure to clarify his own presuppositions suggest the conclusion that Paul has fallen unconsciously into the kind of picking and choosing he wants to avoid."
