Dr. William Joel Meggs grew up as a devout Southern Baptist in the 1950’s South. He studied theoretical physics and became a scientific atheist until becoming a Zen student of Roshi Philip Kapleau. He attended the University of Miami’s MD program for PhD scientists and did further training in internal medicine, clinical immunology, and medical toxicology. Prior publishing credits include The Inflammation Cure, a wellness book for the general public published by McGraw-Hill, and Toxicant Induction of Irritant Asthma and Rhinitis, published by Springer. The Physics of Religion from Buddha to Jesus provides the definitive unification of science and religion by a deeply religious physician-scientist. He lives in Coastal Carolina with his wife, the fine artist Susan Martin Meggs (https://www.martinmeggsfinearts.com).
As someone who’s always been into both physics and Eastern philosophy, this book hit the sweet spot. It makes you think beyond the surface—about consciousness, time, and the universe itself. Absolutely worth reading.
This book took complex ideas and made them feel personal. The connection between quantum uncertainty and enlightenment really made sense the way it was explained. I’ve already recommended it to a few friends.
It’s rare to find a book that challenges your worldview in such a smart and respectful way. If you’re into quantum theory or spiritual exploration, this is a must-read.
