From Big Bang to Big Mystery

Feb 13, 2012

Human Origins in the Light of Creation and Evolution. By Brendan Purcell.

“Brendan Purcell has given us a study of human origins that is comprehensive, wise, and of startling philosophical clarity. He combines the latest discoveries in paleoanthropology, genetics, neuroscience, linguistics, and other sciences with the insights of thinkers from Xenophanes and Aristotle to Eric Voegelin and Bernard Lonergan to produce a deeply impressive and convincing synthesis.” Stephen M. Barr, Professor of Theoretical Physics, University of Delaware and author of Modern Physics and Ancient Faith   “Purcell moves easily from the best scientific data on evolutionary genetics to mystical affirmations of God without skipping a beat.  This is an astonishing, learned, and profoundly moving book.” David Walsh, Professor of Politics, The Catholic University of America   Orders: http://www.newcitypress.com/big-bang.html
