Some Lights Of Science On The Faith: Eight Lectures (1892)

""Some Lights of Science on the Faith: Eight Lectures"" is a book written by Alfred Barry in 1892. The book comprises eight lectures that explore the relationship between science and faith. Barry, an Anglican bishop, aims to demonstrate that science and religion are not mutually exclusive but rather complement each other. In the first lecture, Barry discusses the nature of science and its limitations. He argues that while science is a valuable tool for understanding the physical world, it cannot answer questions about the meaning of life or the existence of God. In the following lectures, Barry examines various scientific discoveries and theories, including evolution, the laws of thermodynamics, and the nature of light, and shows how they can be reconciled with religious beliefs.Throughout the book, Barry emphasizes the importance of faith and the role it plays in human life. He argues that faith provides a framework for understanding the world and gives meaning to our existence. Barry also addresses some of the common objections to religion, such as the problem of evil and the apparent conflict between science and religion.Overall, ""Some Lights of Science on the Faith"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between science and religion. It offers a nuanced perspective on these two seemingly opposing worldviews and encourages readers to consider how they can work together to deepen our understanding of the world and our place in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
