Author: Fr. William A. Wallace, OP
Article Abstract:
Wallace cites examples of the early Fathers of the Church to show “…that a premature divorce between reason and faith could do more to hurt Christian apologetics than the attempt to promote a marriage between them.” He points out, however, that this faith/science debate is part of a larger controversy,… namely, “of the respective provinces of reason and belief in man’s attempts to know about God and the universe he has made.” (Wallace updates and clarifies parts of this 1983 article in the ITEST Bulletin, Spring, Vol. 28, #2).
