Science, Reason, and Faith Catholic Study Bible (Rsv-Ce)

By: Spitzer, Robert

Both Scripture and science are concerned with truth, yet the truths revealed in the Bible often seem to contradict the truths discovered by science and contemporary exegetical research. How can faithful Catholics reconcile these differences? We must begin by recognizing that Scripture and science are looking at different aspects of the same reality. Scripture considers God's revelation of the path to salvation, and science looks at the mathematical-physical intelligibility of the observable universe.

The Science, Reason, and Faith Catholic Study Bible delves into the seemingly irreconcilable differences between these pursuits and responds to modern questions about the Bible from science, history, and scriptural interpretation. Topics include:

The existence of GodThe existence of a transphysical soul made in the image and likeness of GodThe veracity of the BibleThe Genesis account of creation in light of the scientific view of Big Bang cosmology and evolutionThe possibility and reality of miracles in light of contemporary scientific, philosophical, and historical criticism

Scientific, historiographical, and exegetical research do not run contrary to the existence of God, the reality of the soul, and the truths of the Bible. Rather, reason and faith complement and elucidate one another. Science and reason can tell us much about how the observable world operates, but revelation alone -- seen through the eyes of faith -- can tell us why we and the world exist.
