Synopsis

Evolution and Social Progress offers a Catholic vantage on how scientific ideas about life, origin, and humanity intersect with moral and social change. It revisits the origins of man, the role of divine creation, and how faith wells into social thought and progress.

The book frames evolution in dialogue with Scripture, science, and philosophy, and it argues for a creative act of God in the emergence of human intellect and soul. It surveys key figures, theories, and the moral implications of materialist ideas, inviting readers to weigh scientific claims against faith and ethical living.

  • Explanations of how Genesis and modern science are read together to explain life and human nature.
  • Critiques of materialist evolution and discussions of the soul, will, and immortality.
  • Historical context for the debate between science and religion and its impact on society.
  • Reflections on morality, civilization, and the purpose of education in a changing world.

Ideal for readers exploring the crossroads of science, faith, and social ideas.
