DESCRIPTION:
"In this volume, Catherine Vincie invites the reader to theologically delve deeper as she promotes the church's position on the relationship between science and religion, which is one of harmony. David G. She encourages all to encounter the Holy as she names the right relationship of the human with God and all of creation while offering antidotes to challenge hubris' narrow views on the subject." Very Rev. Caron, OP, President, Aquinas Institute of Theology
It is an initial effort to bring cosmology and the New Sciences into dialogue with developments in systematic and sacramental theology. Overall, the author is concerned to reduce the cognitive dissonance between our scientifically informed everyday lives and our life of faith. . What is the Christian response to developments in the hard sciences? What do discoveries at the macro and micro levels have to say about Christian theology, about a theology of God, Christology, pneumatology, and creation? How do the developments in systematic theology that do take the advances in cosmology and the New Sciences seriously come to bear on our worship life?These are the questions that are addressed in this text. This book also suggests some ways in which these developments might appear in our worship
"Science and religion can co-exist!!" according to Kathleen. I bought this book as part of a graduate Theology class and was fascinated to learn how science informs religious practices AND how religious practices inform science. The author proves that science and religion can co-exist!!. I'm not sure that I agree with all of the I'm not sure that I agree with all of the theological points which Vincie makes in this book, but her overall message, that liturgy must reflect our understanding of the universe and our place in it if it is to be meaningful and life-sustaining, is well made and definitely worth . "Five Stars" according to Therese Anne kiefer. First of its kind. A creative and revolutionary work. I Know her personally. she is a gifted scholar.
