Science as Sacred Metaphor: An Evolving Revelation - Elizabeth Michael Boyle, O.P.
For Sister Elizabeth Michael Boyle, there's nothing quite like the world of science with its aha! moments, quandaries, and inscrutable mysteries to usher the modern seeker into the divine presence of God. In this book, she creates a sacred space at the intersection where science and faith meet. Sister Boyle says that Jesus, who used the lives of birds and wildflowers as signs of the divine would probably be saying today, Consider the implications of lilies and stars, of quarks and quantas. Learn from the drama of life out of death in everything from seeds to tsunamis. In Science as Sacred Metaphor, Sister Boyle leads the reader to unravel the fascinating threads of science and follow them to the marvelous skein of spiritual insight and contemplative wonder. With a blend of scientific fact, powerful poetry, and spiritual exploration, she helps the reader discover anew and more deeply the ever-gracious Mystery in whom all that exists lives and moves and has its being.
Reviews
"This work is a sparkling contribution to contemporary conversations about science and its relationship to faith and theology. Unlike many other works on the topic, it is prayerful and poetic. Fully aware of the differences between science and poetry, the author takes the metaphorical terminology of science as an invitation to constructive theological interpretation of nature. Readers will find this book both wise and enjoyable."
-John F. Haught, Distinguished Research Professor, Department of Theology, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.
