What if belief requires only a sample of the truth—and the absolute truth is the unknowable?

A World Connected Within the Bounds of Interpretation is a bold, interdisciplinary exploration of faith, science, and meaning. Engineer and thinker Lawrence I. Morris weaves together theology, statistics, philosophy, and a sample of a personal memoir to ask one fundamental question: can spiritual truth be approached the same way we approach reasoning and data?

Drawing on experiences ranging from data science courses at NYU Stern to doctrinal questioning within organized religion, Morris challenges readers to examine sacred texts, spiritual traditions, and their own convictions through the lens of reason, probability, and revision.

This first edition includes chapters on faith, the decay of knowledge across generations, divine variation across cultures, and the power of computational tools to re-examine scripture.

A must-read for seekers, skeptics, and scholars alike.
