Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Father Michael Chaberek amply demonstrates that theistic evolution is inescapably at odds with fundamental elements of Thomas' thought' (Robert Larmer, PhD. University of New Brunswick). 'Father Michael Chaberek convincingly shows that if Saint Thomas Aquinas himself were to enter the contemporary debate on human origins, he would reject theistic evolutionism' (David Arias, PhD. Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary).'Father Michael Chaberek's book is surely the most precise treatment of the relationship between the thought of Saint Thomas and Darwinian evolution ever written' (Jay W. Richards, PhD. Catholic University of America). 'Fr. Chaberek has finally given the issue the book-length treatment it deserves, and things don't look good for Thomistic evolutionists. His arguments are fresh and challenging. All further discussion will need to take account of this important work' (Logan Gage, PhD. Franciscan University of Steubenville). 'Father Michael Chaberek's book is worth reading because it teaches honest and straightforward thinking and it shows readers how to respond to the theistic evolutionists who commonly impose their views in Christian circles' (Rev. Prof. Andrzej Maryniarczyk S.D.B., Catholic University of Lublin, Poland).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The question of the origins of the universe is probably one of the most dwelled upon and argued about over the last couple of centuries. Ever since Charles Darwin proposed his theory, evolutionists and creationists want to settle the issue on their sides. But science did not stop at Darwin's time. It progressed enormously, creating significant problems for Darwinian explanations. Is there a better answer than the dominant neo-Darwinian synthesis Even more fundamental is the question of whether natural science, by itself, can explain the origins of nature. What are the limits of science and where should we turn to philosophy and theology How do these three domains--science, philosophy, and theology--relate when addressing the question of origins Theistic evolution, the idea of God using evolution as a means of creating the universe, faces problems from both classic Christian theology as well as classic metaphysics. Today things do not look good for the dominant views. The time has come to propose a new faith and science synthesis, one that offers a serious approach to the Bible on the one hand and an honest look at biological findings on the other. This book sets a path to such a new synthesis.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For Catholics, the question of evolution touches on all the most important topics: the nature of God and his work in the world, the nature of life, and the status of man in the universe. It is also a subject of perennial controversy and confusion. Some see the Darwinian theory of evolution as a major agent in discrediting the Church's doctrine on creation, undermining biblically-based morality and the concept of human exceptionalism. Others regard Darwinian theory as compatible with biblical faith and Catholic tradition. Has the Church itself 'evolved' Or are there certain truths that are permanent and irreplaceable Fr. Michael Chaberek is a Polish Dominican who has studied creation doctrine from Old and New Testament accounts to the Church Fathers, to the Medieval Scholastics (especially St. Thomas Aquinas), to the Vatican's internal and public papers of the 19th and 20th centuries--and on into our own times and the pronouncements of recent popes. His new book gathers all doctrinal statements on evolution and presents the history of the engagement of Catholicism with natural science since Darwin presented his theory in 1859. What he finds is a clear path that gradually became twisted and over-grown. His exploration of that path is both scholarly and engrossing.'Finally, a book that tells the full story of Catholic reflections and Magisterial statements down through the centuries on issues of creation and evolution. From the meditations of the ancient Church Fathers to the statements of Popes Pelagius I and Leo XIII, there are many hidden treasures to be found here. Fr. Chaberek combines historical, philosophical, and theological scholarship in a book that is both comprehensive and engaging. This book will be an eye-opener for many, and will quickly become the standard and essential work on the subject.'--ROBERT STACKPOLE, director, John Paul II Institute of Divine Mercy'In Catholicism and Evolution, Fr. Michael Chaberek surveys perennial Catholic teaching, plumbs the depths of Catholic philosophy and historical theology, and analyzes the best scientific evidence to date. In the process, he shows that certain elements of Darwinian evolution are not only incompatible with Catholic belief, but largely lacking in evidence. He shows also that despite her clear historical teaching, the contemporary Church lacks an unambiguous statement of how Catholics should understand this question. I expect this to become the definitive book on Catholicism and evolution.'--JAY W. RICHARDS, co-author of The Privileged Planet; editor of God and Evolution'Darwin and his contemporaries thought the cell was a simple blob of jelly, protoplasm. Modern science has discovered the exact opposite, that astoundingly sophisticated technology undergirds life. Father Michael Chaberek probes the implications of this and other surprising developments in his erudite study of Catholicism's collision with Darwinism.'--MICHAEL BEHE, author of Darwin's Black Box'Catholicism and Evolution is a thorough exposition of the history of the debate over evolution, especially the theory's proponents and opponents within the Catholic Church. This book should be on the shelves of any concerned with this subject, or indeed any who would like to fully grasp the controversy's roots in the Church.'--ANN GAUGER, Senior Research Scientist, Biologic Institute'Fr. Chaberek has done Catholics and all Christians a great service by describing the progression of the present controversy over creation, intelligent design, and theistic evolution from the Bible and early days of Christianity until today. His book will open eyes.'--BRUCE CHAPMAN, Founding Fellow, Discovery InstituteFR. MICHAEL CHABEREK O.P., S.T.D. is a member of the Polish Dominican Province, with a Doctorate in Fundamental Theology from Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw.
