"Father Spitzer is a remarkable man with a remarkable breadth of knowledge and understanding." -- Stephen M. Barr , President, Society of Catholic Scientists "The deep foundations of the Church's moral teachings are philosophical and theological, but in an age in thrall to scientism it is not only useful but imperative to show that those teachings are also well-supported by social-scientific and other empirical considerations. Father Robert Spitzer's work is an important and welcome contribution to this enterprise." -- Edward Feser , Professor of Philosophy, Pasadena City College; Author, Five Proofs of the Existence of God "I urge all, especially science educators and professionals in science, to examine the evidence and reasoning presented by Christ, Science, and Reason and the comprehensive citations so brilliantly reviewed in his book. You will encounter essential claims to foundational questions between intellectual conversion and opportunities to use science-based apologetics to enrich one's faith. These are the discussions our students want to have about their faith, and this book gives you the confidence to do so effectively." -- Martin Lindway, Ph.

D., Science Department Chair, Cleveland Benedictine High School "In his unique indomitable style, Father Spitzer makes short work of the myth that the Catholic Church is anti-science. In Christ, Science, and Reason , not only does he explain how the Church has supported scientific discovery from the Middle Ages to the present, he also catalogues numerous examples of how the Church has engaged scientific researchers to investigate miracles and inexplicable religious artifacts like the Shroud of Turin. He shows how the scientific evidence regarding these miraculous events points toward God. This book is the antidote to the popular misperception that the deeper one delves into science, the further one gets from God. Rather than being an obstacle to the Faith, Father Spitzer eloquently makes the case that science and scientific discovery can actually bring one to the doorstep of God." -- Dr. Daniel Kuebler, Professor of Biology, Franciscan University of Steubenville; Vice President, Society of Catholic Scientists.
