Addressing the eternal conflict of new ideas challenging old practices, Catholic scholar Barbara Fiand offers a poignant resource for seekers and faithful alike, determined to resolve their own struggles between the rational world and the spiritual one. Identifying numerous moments when old ways of viewing reality begin to crumble in light of new information, Fiand draws freely from the findings of physicists and philosophers to advance her argument that old religions can be remain current, and even better understood, when complemented with advances in science and technology. Encouraging her readers to trust science and embrace the wonders of new mysteries, the faithfully devout can find spiritual treasures far greater and more satisfying than settled doctrines alone can offer.

The Mass on the World: A Modern Theory of Transubstantion (6) (A Christian Cosmology)

This landmark initiative beginning with the publication of a 6-volume-series for the development of a Christian cosmology based on reality as process, seeks to replace the medieval static worldview and make a contribution to the integration of modern science and divine revelation. Combining notions from science, philosophy, and theology, Pendergast weaves a coherent picture of what we know about reality. He considers the nature of matter, human consciousness, quantum mechanics, biological evolution, and the problem of evil. Addressing both believers and nonbelievers, he aims to offer insight into problems that may disturb the faith of the former or impede the latter’s search for God. The publication of Pendergast’s six volume Christian Cosmology initiates a much-needed program of evangelization, including education and research, aimed especially at challenging and supporting younger generations.

Dust jacket notes: "Western studies of Taoism generally have fallen into two classes. One is the formal academic study of the subject employing objectivizing methods of history, philology, anthropology, and the like. The other consists of less formal reflections on Taoism from the standpoint of one's own personal encounters, as in the writings of the nineteenth-century travelers and more recently thinkers such as Thomas Merton and John Blofeld. Professor Wu's Chuang Tzu: World Philosopher at Play is in a meritorious class by itself. Much the way Professor McKeon has presented Aristotle for the last generation, its aim is to present Chuang Tzu's Taoism as a contemporary cultural option as well as classic position. With both objectivizing academic tools and personal experience as important background elements, Professor Wu provides an interpretation of contemporary culture that takes its hermeneutic horizon from Chuang Tzu. Furthermore, he offers solutions which owe their main inspiration to Chuang Tzu. And these two acts of normative reflection - interpreting our culture and offering cultural solutions - provide Professor Wu's keys for his unique presentation of Chuang Tzu."
