FR. SPITZER’S NEWEST BOOK: SCIENCE AT THE DOORSTEP TO GOD

Michie · Nov 26, 2023

Fr. Spitzer and the Magis Center have been at the forefront of efforts to address one of the central debates in contemporary society: the relationship between faith and science.

In his latest book, Science at the Doorstep to God (Ignatius Press, 2023), Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, SJ, argues that current scientific evidence makes the existence of a transcendent dimension to reality “compellingly probable.” A person of any faith or no faith can benefit from reading this book.

The key questions he addresses are organized in six highly readable chapters:

Chapter 1: Does Science Point to a Beginning of Our Universe?
Chapter 2: Does Fine-tuning for Life Imply Transcendent Intelligence?
Chapter 3: Is Theism More Rational Than Atheism?
Chapter 4: Is There Medical and Scientific Evidence of a Transcendent Soul?
Chapter 5: Are Human Intelligence and Self-Consciousness Unique?
Chapter 6: Are We Free Amidst Our Experience of God?

Each chapter addresses hotly debated topics, from cosmological evidence for the beginning of space/time to the existence of a free, conscious, and transcendent soul. The Table of Contents thoroughly summarizes the topics covered within each chapter.
