Críticas

"With these excellent essays, Fr. Kurzynski crafts the dialogue between Faith and Science as a spiritual guidebook, leading the reader into the sublime truths of the Catholic faith by way of awe-filled encounters with both scientists and saints. Kurzynski rises above the often noisy turmoil of sparring apologetics to offer a respectful exploration of how faith and science can help to plumb the mysteries of their respective domains." Very Rev. John F. Kartje, S.T.D., Ph.D. Rector & President

The University of St. Mary of the Lake Mundelein, IL "Vatican Observatory blogger Fr. James Kurzynski mixes one part personal interest in amateur astronomy, one part priestly vocation, and a hefty dash of creativity to produce a book that is unique and accessible and that touches on topics ranging from Thomas Aquinas to C.S. Lewis to the Big Bang to the inspirational impact of a Wisconsin night. Whether you know something about astronomy or not, I recommend this book." Christopher M. Graney Professor of Physics and Astronomy

Reseña del editor

"One of the most common misconceptions is that faith and science are at odds with one another. Drawing upon painful events of the Church's past (such as Galileo), the narrative people usually embrace is that faith and science are irreconcilable enemies that promise to be eternal adversaries. However, this narrative is false.Whether it be the long tradition of "priest scientists" who are responsible for some of the greatest discoveries of our time (such as Fr. George Lemaitre, "father" of the big bang), or the ongoing work of the Vatican Observatory, the truth about faith and science is that they are complementary explorations of truth, pointing us to our ultimate beginning and end." - from God's Canvas

In "God's Canvas: An Exploration of Faith, Astronomy, and Creation," Fr. James Kurzynski explores how faith and science can and should be dialogue partners in the exploration of truth. Drawing upon his work as an author for The Catholic Astronomer, the official blog of the Vatican Observatory Foundation, Fr. Kurzynski explores the relationship between faith and science through the lens of his life as a Catholic priest, the pastor of a parish and Newman Center, and as a hobby astronomer, artist, and musician. Through this lens, Fr. Kurzynski will explore core questions that he is often asked as a priest.
