Catholicism and Science

Greenwood Press | 2008 | ISBN: 0313331901 | 272 pages | PDF | 4,2 MB

When most people think about Catholicism and science, they will automatically think of one of the famous events in the history of science - the condemnation of Galileo by the Roman Catholic Church. But the interaction of Catholics with science has been - and is - far more complex and positive than that depicted in the legend of the Galileo affair. Understanding the natural world has always been a strength of Catholic thought and research - from the great theologians of the Middle Ages to the present day - and science has been a hallmark of Catholic education for centuries. Catholicism and Science, a volume in the Greenwood Guides to Science and Religion series, covers all aspects of the relationship of science and the Church:

- How Catholics interacted with the profound changes in the physical sciences ("natural philosophy") and biological sciences ("natural history") during the Scientific Revolution.

- How Catholic scientists reacted to the theory of evolution and their attempts to make evolution compatible with Catholic theology

- The implications of Roman Catholic doctrinal and moral teachings for neuroscientific research, and for investigation into genetics and cloning. The volume includes primary source documents, a glossary and timeline of important events, and an annotated bibliography of the most useful works for further research
