Bridging the rift between religion and science
In an era when it may seem as though the divide between science and religion is being fueled by political and religious ideology, Brother Guy Consolmagno, scientist and Vatican astronomer, sees past the differences and embraces connections between them. Those who identify with a scientific mind–what Brother Guy calls 'Techies'–explain the workings of the universe through observation and empirical data, but need not abolish a life of faith and devotion to God. Using his own personal experience and the stories of other Techies, he explores the way scientists and engineers reconcile these two seemingly divergent world views.
Brother Guy Consolmagno, SJ (Rome, Italy, and Tuscon, AZ) is a Jesuit brother and astronomer with advanced degrees from MIT and the University of Arizona, along with postdoctoral fellowships and lectureships at Harvard and MIT.
