Prima Facie Questions in Quantum Gravity
A popular paper of Mr Isham. Defines Quantum Gravity and why it is important. The aim of the article is to look at the "complex web" of quantum gravity and examine it from a different view. The paper can be viewed here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/9310031.pdf -

Do Religion and Science Conflict?
Christopher Isham is a known practicing Christian since his 40's. In this video he sheds light on how you can be both a scientist and a practitioner of a faith. As humans who are we to state we understand the depth of reality? "Maybe it's true maybe it's not true, it's how you feel about it and taking that point of view." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3M9p5Ps4GA
