"Spencer Klavan is a profound and wide-ranging scholar, a believing Christian, and a writer of gorgeous prose. In Light of the Mind, Light of the World, he takes on the daunting task of explaining how the divine is revealed through science in the light of new discoveries and ancient wisdom. He does this with his typical panache and erudition, shining light on the history and development of the scientific enterprise, attempting to take the reader beyond the dead end of mere materialism to a meeting of the divine and human minds." —Jeremy Carl—Former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Interior and author of The Unprotected Class

"Modern humanity is in the deadly grips of a vulgar scientism that is all too eager to explain away the rich and varied grounds of human dignity. We remain prisoners of antiquated accounts of the world that explain everything in terms of mathematics, mechanism, and matter-in-motion, and that reduce the wonders of the human mind to the impersonal workings of the brain. Spencer Klavan will have nothing of this debased account of things. In remarkably eloquent prose, and with a full command of science, philosophy, and theology ancient and modern, Klavan tells the exciting story of how modern physics has recovered the indispensable role that the human mind plays in giving shape to the very structure of physical and spiritual reality. Reality itself is nothing less than the meeting point of 'the light of the mind' with 'the light of the world.' Klavan brilliantly explores all the implications of this recovery of the God-given human birthright to be 'stewards and humanizers of the universe.'" —Daniel J. Mahoney—Professor Emeritus, Assumption University

"Our scientific age has wrought among its many wonders a malady of spiritual disenchantment. Spencer Klavan's new tour-de-force, Light of the Mind, Light of the World offers urgent medicine by looking within and then beyond science. The author rectifies the errors of popular intellectuals with characteristic erudition and perspicacity. Spencer Klavan is the Right's Yuval Harari—so distinguished by the fact that Spencer happens to be not only smart but also right. Read this book." —Michael J. Knowles, author and podcaster
