Beschreibungen
In this collection of meditations, Lococo reflects on the meaning of freedom, creation, and beauty, addressing the meaning of each to science, and, when met with science's recurring silence, offers theology as another way in. As he revisits and revitalizes notions of transcendent truth, goodness, and beauty in an age that seems to have long given up on them, he unearths Catholicism's forgotten scholarly wisdom tradition, ultimately paying tribute to two of the greatest religious thinkers of the twentieth century. The author asks: How might Christianity reconcile the fruits of the knowledge of science with a fuller understanding of the meaning of becoming human?
Donald J. Lococo formerly taught in the Christianity and Culture Program at the University of Toronto, biology at the University of St. Thomas, Houston, Texas, and biology and philosophy at St. John Fisher College, Rochester, New York. He is the author of
<i>Toward a Theology of Science</i> (2004).

“With great erudition, drawing upon sources both ancient and modern, Lococo steers a steady course between the Scylla of scientism and the Charybdis of fideism and ably demonstrates the compatibility of science and theology.
<i>Life in One Breath</i> is an intellectual tour de force.”

<b><br><br> </b>“This book is a carefully considered, long-matured, and worthy follow-up to Lococo’s 2002
<i>Towards a Theology of Science</i>. We have perhaps not yet arrived at the theology of science, which Lococo argued in 2002 ‘does not yet exist.’ But with these meditations, Lococo has taken one more step in that direction.”
