Roy Abraham Varghese is the author/editor of nine books on science, religion and theology. Cosmos, Bios, Theos, a book he edited, included
contributions from 24 Nobel Prize‐winning scientists and was widely reviewed in technical and popular publications including Chronicle of Higher Education, The Science Teacher and Foundations of Physics. Time magazine called Cosmos “the year’s most intriguing book about God.”
Cosmic Beginnings and Human Ends, a subsequent work, won a Templeton Book Prize for Outstanding Books in Science and Natural Theology. His book The Wonder of the World was an exploration of the relationship between modern science and the existence of God. It was endorsed by two Nobel Prize winners, the inventor of the laser and the scientist who established the Big Bang theory, as well as by leading Jewish, Hindu, Moslem and Christian thinkers. In 2007, he co‐authored (with Antony Flew) the internationally publicized There is a God: How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind.
He was a panelist at the science and religion forum in the Parliament of World Religions held in Chicago in 1993 and an invitee and participant in the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders held at the United Nations in August 2000. He has also organized several
international conferences of theists and atheists on such topics as the existence of God and the soul.
Participants in one such conference, Artificial Intelligence and the Human Mind, held at Yale University, included four Nobel Prize winners and prominent AI scientists. He helped produce the documentary “Has Science Discovered God” featuring Antony Flew, Gerald Schroeder, John Haldane and Paul Vitz. He has been interviewed on TV and radio (including the popular show “Coast to Coast”).
