Divine Science: Finding Reason at the Heart of Faith

by Michael Dennin

Overview

People of faith and people of science often view one another with suspicion, even disdain. But what if science and faith were complementary ideas? Physicist Michael Dennin explains that science doesn’t deny the existence of God and that faith and science can actually enhance one another when approached the right away. He explains that science and faith do not have to live in conflict and inspires you to accept that you can be a person of faith and of science.

Editorial Reviews

"It is virtually impossible to escape the science-religion debates in our society and the situation seems to be growing more problematic every day. One does not need to be a scientist or a theologian to find oneself grappling with these issues and Dennin offers a refreshing and peaceful way to engage in the discussion." — Catholic Library World
