The Bible and Science - Longing for God in a Science-dominated World

Informationen zum Autor Vincent M. Smiles is professor of theology at Saint John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota. He is the author of The Bible and Science , and First Thessalonians, Philippians, Second Thessalonians, Colossians, Ephesians , from the New Collegeville Bible Commentary series published by Liturgical Press. Klappentext Some look to the Bible as the definition of reality and deny science; others see science alone as the arbiter of truth and deny the Bible.This book draws on numerous sources, ancient and modern, to examine what the missteps were that have brought us to a point of such confusion, and in doing so argues cogently against the modern philosophy of scientific materialism.With the aid of biblical stories and imagery it suggests how we might find our way back to balance, where ancient wisdom and modern science can together shed light on humans and their encompassing reality.
