Exploring Life's Big Questions

Beschreibung

Many people rely on Robert Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D., for his expertise on explaining the relationship between science, faith, and reason. Finally, at your fingertips, are his answers to select questions that viewers asked on his immensely popular television show, Fr. Spitzer's Universe, to help you understand and share life's greatest mysteries. A priest and philosopher of science, Fr. Spitzer offers evidence and proofs for common queries, such as: Is there really an intelligent Being who created the universe? If so, what does this mean for each individual person and the existence of the soul? Can science replace theology, or theology replace science? Is there really a purpose for our suffering, and does our pain have any value? Fr. Spitzer breaks open the wisdom of the saints and scientific knowledge and relates his own personal experience of learning to trust God more deeply through life's trials. He offers cogent insights on an array of topics, including near-death experiences, spiritual discernment, and upholding the dignity of life in a culture that attacks it. Throughout these timely and power-packed pages, you will also discover: * Seven types of evidence for the existence of your transcendent soul * Why God allows evil, and how to perceive the effects of original sin * How the view of God the Father in Christianity differs from that of other major religions * Ways to explain the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist to a materialist * Time-tested methods to fortify your soul amid suffering * How to share the fruits of trusting in God with others, even in challenging times Regardless of your worldview, as Spitzer masterfully unpacks these core questions, you will be challenged to see God's loving hand at work in the universe -- and in your life.
