The Evidential Power of Beauty: Science and Theology Meet

While everyone enjoys beauty, and the more attentive among us are enthusiastically captivated by it, few are clearly aware that we may recognise truth by its beauty and simplicity. Dubay investigates why all of the twentieth century's most famous physicists believe that beauty is the ultimate benchmark for scientific truth. Similarly, the finest modern theologians are delving further into the aesthetic qualities of divine revelation. Honest seekers of truth cannot help but be impressed that these two disciplines, science and religion, so unlike in techniques, attitudes, and goals, are merging in this and other unexpected and rewarding ways.

This book connects these advancements to nature, music, academia, and our insatiable human yearning for everlasting beauty, truth, and pleasure, a thirst fulfilled only at the pinnacle of contemplative prayer here below, and in the completion of the beatific vision hereafter.
