Isham has appeared in several NOVA television programmes as well as a film about
Stephen Hawking. Physicist
Paul Davies has described Isham as "Britain's greatest quantum gravity expert."[4] As a practising
Christian, Isham has also written about the relationships among
philosophy,
theology, and
physics.
