Faith and Science at Notre Dame: John Zahm, Evolution, and the Catholic Church

The book "Faith and Science at Notre Dame" is a groundbreaking exploration of the life and work of Reverend John Augustine Zahm, a Holy Cross priest and science professor who dared to bridge evolution and Catholicism in the late 19th century.

Through previously unknown archival letters and reports, Slattery sheds new light on Zahm's rise to international fame and his ultimate downfall via censure by the Congregation of the Index of Prohibited Books.

This comprehensive and engaging narrative weaves together a vast array of threads to tell a compelling story of Neo-Scholasticism, Notre Dame, empirical science, and the simple faith of an Indiana priest.

With a new translation of the 1864 Syllabus of Errors, "Faith and Science at Notre Dame" will appeal to scholars of science and religion, as well as general readers seeking to understand the relationship between faith and science.
