Science and Belief in a Nuclear Age / Peter Hodgson
Product may vary slightly from image representation.

The noted Oxford physicist Peter Hodgson, a devout Catholic, here offers a marvelous compendium for Christians who seek to know how faith relates to the discoveries of modern science. Hodgson has at his fingertips the insights of the Church’s theological giants, which he combines with a thorough knowledge of the philosophy of science. Hodgson provides the latest information on Einstein, quantum physics, nuclear power and more. As would be expected from a Christian scientist, Hodgson does not stop at the superficial level of the empirical data but asks the deeper questions that Christians need to answer in order to come to terms with contemporary science.

"On the threshold of the third millennium, a Christian cannot ignore the special role of science in the transformation of contemporary civilization.... In a lucid, compelling way, Science and Belief in the Nuclear Age describes our responsibility for this intellectual heritage that is so essential for Christian tradition. Hodgson, without claiming science should become religion or religion science, convincingly describes an academic community of intellectual interchange that replaces former conflicts and partial perspectives by a new integral vision of science open to theological truth." Archbishop Joseph Zycinski, Grand Chancellor of the Catholic University of Lublin
 
"This excellent work is not written just for experts, but for the average Christian." --Paul Cardinal Poupard, President of the Pontifical Council for Culture
