This is perfect for readers going into the book with an open mind. Religion is a sensitive theme to talk about. Starting this book without an open mind might offend some readers and might seem disagreeable to some. The author presents different ideas, and readers must have an open mind to make this an informational read.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Dec 2020, 00:52 Though the author is a Catholic, she has studied about Hinduism and Buddhism as well. And this book does not directly talks about Catholic teachings, but the true meaning of the universe and a supreme being via quantum physics and philosophical studies.
Considering that context, is this book suitable for anyone? Or would this be targeted to a particular audience with particular religious beliefs?
Is this book equally suitable for anyone with any religious beliefs?

Agreed. It makes the Catholics see their belief in a whole new light, then what happens to the non-Catholics. "So there are limitations for the audience to which this book can be given to".Sushan wrote: ↑02 Dec 2020, 04:03That is a quite insightful thought. Yes, philosophy and physics can be digestible for many, yet not for all. And the biblical teachings won't be known by all the non-Catholics. So there are limitations for the audience to which this book can be given toSou Hi wrote: ↑01 Dec 2020, 21:41 I don't think it's inappropriate for the author to study other religions. One is free to choose what they want to believe in, so even if he placed his trust in some deities other than God, it would be his freedom. Besides, I'm not pointing fingers, but there's no guarantee that one religion is perfect, so it's alright if one wants to learn about the other religions' teaching.
In terms of philosophy, I think this book can be read by everyone who has an interest. Quantum physics may be hard, so laymen may not be able to fully comprehend. And one who isn't a Catholic may not understand his points about the Bible. So, in these aspects, I deem the book unsuitable for everyone.

Her research lends credibility to her point of view. If someone is asking the questions, they should read widely on the subject and this book would be suitable.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Dec 2020, 00:52 Though the author is a Catholic, she has studied about Hinduism and Buddhism as well.
