Publisher's Synopsis
The Catholic Church and Modern Science: A Lecture (1886) is a book written by John Augustine Zahm, a Holy Cross priest and scientist. The book explores the relationship between the Catholic Church and modern science, examining the ways in which the Church has interacted with scientific discoveries and advancements. Zahm argues that the Catholic Church has been a supportive and encouraging force in the development of modern science, rather than an obstacle to progress as some critics have suggested. He cites examples of Catholic scientists and theologians who have made significant contributions to fields such as astronomy, physics, and biology. Zahm also discusses the Church's stance on evolution, arguing that it is not incompatible with Catholic doctrine. Overall, The Catholic Church and Modern Science is an insightful and thought-provoking analysis of the relationship between science and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
