i am studing the book of weinberg of general relativity. in the part about light deflection weinberg perform the calculus of the angle deflection of a light ray bended bay a gravitational body. i don't how can evalute the integral. in other words i don't understand de taylor aproximation of the integral. why the integral is not divergent? how can help me to understand?

It would be easier to respond if you could explicitly show rhe integral you are talking about, including definitions of symbols.
