Thomistic Evolution

Evolutionary theory has raised numerous disputed questions among Catholics and other Christians concerning the relationship between faith and reason and between religion and science. Thomistic Evolution shows that the Thomistic intellectual tradition provides insightful and compelling responses to these questions. This second edition includes a revised account of human evolution, an expanded defense of the the historicity of an original human being, and a new chapter in response to criticisms of the first edition of Thomistic Evolution. Along with its companion website (www.thomisticevolution.org), Thomistic Evolution seeks to remedy the poverty of knowledge and understanding regarding Thomistic responses to disputed questions in science and religion. The novelty and brilliance of the Thomistic approach to evolution will surprise believers and skeptics alike, transcending and reconciling the dichotomies that shape the contemporary science and religion debate.
