Brother Astronomer: Adventures of a Vatican Scientist (New-trade science series)

"Brother Astronomer" is a wonderful contribution to the ongoing science-and-religion debate, from someone living in both worlds. Blending memoir, science, history and theology, Brother Guy takes readers on a grand adventure wherein you can revisit the infamous "Galileo affair" and discover the circumstances and misconceptions of the times that influenced what really happened. Through Brother Guy's recollections, science and religion fuse together in one individual and by extension, explain how they are both needed to answer the big question of what it would mean if life were to be found elsewhere in the universe. Thus, it is an exclusive, firsthand account of faith at the brink of new scientific knowledge that all science and theology students should definitely read.
