Faith and Science: A Journey into God’s Mystical Love
By Robert J. Hesse, Ph.D. with Foreword by Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D.
Dr. Hesse introduces a fresh voice into the sometimes polarizing subject of faith and science. His work offers a unique look into two subjects, which seem counter intuitive. How can these topics come together? In what ways do they meet? Does one take a backseat to the other? The book explores the asymptotic convergence, approaching but not touching, of faith and science over a broad range of disciplines including: physics to creation, chemistry to life, biology to consciousness and psychology to mysticism; all accessible in language non-scientists can understand. It culminates in research on mysticism. It is available on through Amazon and Crossroad Publishing.
