Originally published in 1908, Lodge applies his background in
physics to the study of Christian Theology. He aims to reconcile
religious doctrine to scientific theory, calling for a
re-interpretation of biblical texts to allow for the integration of
science while simultaneously making a case for the acceptance of
miracles in the scientific community. This title will be of
interest to students of Religious Studies as well as to general
readers interested in problems of existence.
The Special Theory of Relativity: Based on a short course of
lectures delivered in the late 1930s, this short book presents the
theory of Special Relativity by formulating a redefinition of the
measurement of length, and thus will appeal to students of physics
who wish to think through Einstein's thought without the
encumbrance of quasi-scientific concepts and language. Relativity:
A Very Elementary Exposition: This brief lecture, delivered in
October 1921 and published for the first time in 1925, offers an
explanation of Einstein's theory of Special Relativity for the
non-scientist, giving a general overview that does justice both to
the actual physics involved, and the wider implications of this
revolutionary discovery of the 20th century.

Originally published in 1907, this book provides information to
parents and teachers wishing to teach their children about
Christianity as well as science. Lodge details his fear of
mandatory secularism in schools and advises how to instruct
children in science without allowing any doubt of Christian
doctrine and stresses the importance of reconciliation between
religion and science for future generations. This title will be of
interest to students of Education and Religion.
Originally published in 1930, Sir Oliver Lodge proposes a
connection between physics and philosophy, or as he describes it, a
key to unlock the intricate connection between mind and matter. A
response to early twentieth century mathematically-led philosophy,
Lodge looks at physics from a physical direction rather than from a
theoretical model. This title will be of interest to students of
philosophy as well physics.
Originally delivered as a series of lectures for the Halley Stewart
trust in 1926, Lodge's work was collected and first published in
1927. Lodge uses his scientific training to inquire into such
general issues as religion, human progress, and societal advances
with an aim to better understand the physical order of the
universe. This title will be of interest to students of philosophy,
particularly those interested in the development of early twentieth
century thought.
