Reviews of The Wonder of the World (con't)
Congratulations on a fascinating book! I found The Wonder of the World
to be a highly illuminating and thought-provoking discussion of all the
important issues on the borderline between science and religion.

The Wonder of the World is an epoch-making and breathtaking treatise.
Among Indian thinkers Varghese is much inspired by the great theistic philosopher
Sri Madhvacharya. I have learnt a great deal from this giant work.

Varghese skillfully leads us through a scientific and philosophical description
of our magnificent universe. Experiencing the wonder of our world is the surest
path to realizing that a purely materialist answer to that question is both
scientifi cally and philosophically inadequate.

How Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth
If one could only bring back the sense of enchantment of the natural world
in our time in a society dominated by the scientism which is a product of modern
science! I think that your book is a remarkable achievement for which I want
to congratulate you. I hope that it will have a wide readership.
