“Science and religion can draw each other into a wider world, where both may flourish.” – St. John Paul II
Is scientific reason compatible with religious faith?
Is it possible to believe in miracles and also the integrity of nature?
How do spiritual realities, such as the soul, fit into the world of matter described by physics and biology?
The faithful are faced with challenging questions to their Christian beliefs. Today, many view science and the Christian faith as being in conflict with each other, accepting the false belief that faith and science cannot be reconciled.
Dr. Christopher Baglow’s, Faith, Science, & Reason: Theology on the Cutting Edge, unveils the history of science as something that grew out of, rather than in opposition to, the Catholic faith. It describes the relationship between faith and science, covering topics essential to understanding the Church’s approach to science.
This highly readable text engages a wide range of scientific literature and brings new scientific discoveries into dialogue with the great thinkers of the Catholic intellectual tradition, especially St. Thomas Aquinas.
The reader will come away with a deeper understanding and a greater appreciation of the harmony between the Catholic faith and science.
Ideal for anyone seeking to learn more about the relationship between the Catholic faith and science. Faith, Science, & Reason has also been used by Theology and Science instructors as a supplementary course in Catholic High Schools and Colleges.
