Faith, Science, and Reason – 2nd Edition

Theology on the Cutting Edge

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?

Inour modern scientific and technological culture, it is not an option forCatholics to ignore or have a shallow understanding of the relationship betweenreligious faith and scientific knowledge. Such a lack of understanding limitsour ability to spread the Gospel in a world that so needs the Good News ofJesus Christ.

Dr.Chris Baglow’s Faith, Science, & Reason: Theology on the Cutting Edge,Second Edition, presents this necessary knowledge.

Accordingto recent data, 70% of young adult Catholics view science and religion as beingin conflict with each other. Yet this is not a problem limited to youngCatholics! The culture around us accepts the false belief that faith and reasoncannot be reconciled, many even believing that science has shown that the Christianfaith is irrational. We need the tools to show that both scientific inquiry andthe Catholic faith ask questions and seek knowledge about the same universe, workingtogether to come to know the truths of God wherever they may be found.

Thisbook unveils the history of science as something that grew out of, rather thanin opposition to, the Catholic faith. It describes the relationship between scienceand spirituality, the biblical creation accounts, the Galileo Affair, theproblem of evil, the historical roots of the warfare model of science and faith,the incredible advances in the sciences of human origins, and numerous othertopics essential to understanding the Church’s approach to science.

Ideal for anyone seeking a greater understanding of the relationship between science and the Catholic faith!
