Publisher's Summary:

Follow the contemplative path with Thomas Merton as your guide.

In 1942, Thomas Merton relinquished a promising academic career to join the Abbey of Gethsemani. Instead of running away from the world, however, he actually developed his most profound wisdom about it.

Now you, too, can share in this wisdom. Thomas Merton on the Contemplative Way contains a compelling set of talks on living contemplatively. In these moving talks, Merton tackles such topics as renewal, prayer, and affirming God. Recorded almost 20 years after The Seven Storey Mountain was published, these talks showcase a mystic at the height of his wisdom.

This series is one of Merton's great masterpieces. Contemplation was perhaps the issue closest to Merton's heart, and he tackles it here with profound insights. You will be enrapt as you listen to Merton deliver these talks with his trademark eloquence and erudition.

While you listen to Merton, you will see him wrestle with the complexities of contemplation. As Merton says, he left the world for the cloistered walls of the monastery to become an explorer of the "rocky land of the soul". But he also acknowledges that the contemplative life is not limited to those in solitude. Indeed, you will discover how we are all called to live contemplatively.

At the heart of these lectures lie a sense of hope and an abiding awareness of God's presence in the world. Let Thomas Merton speak to your soul today.

Title: Galileo

Subtitle: Science, Faith, and the Catholic Church

Author: Dr. Guy Consolmagno SJ PhD

Narrator: Dr. Guy Consolmagno SJ PhD

Format: Original Recording

Length: 4 hrs and 55 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-31-17

Publisher: Now You Know Media Inc.

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

What can Galileo's extraordinary life and profound legacy teach us today?

Galileo's story is a touchstone in debates about science and religion, but our preconceptions inevitably color the way we see the issues. To understand who Galileo was, what he accomplished, and what you can learn from his triumphs and failures, you need a great teacher to place him in context by exploring the cosmologies, political and religious and historical events, and famous people of his generation. You also need to get a sense of the man himself: from his family background and early ambitions to the person he grew into as he became a father, a rising celebrity, a literary lion, and ultimately an infirm but unbroken old man.

In Galileo: Science, Faith, and the Catholic Church, you will explore the context and implications of the Galileo affair - the events that culminated in his condemnation by the Roman Catholic Church. You can take no better guide than Dr. Guy Consolmagno, a renowned astronomer, Jesuit brother, and popular writer.

The Galileo affair resonates with our own times. Although the debate about an earth or sun-centered universe is long past, the ways we react to new ideas hasn't changed at all. All of the hopes, fears, and misunderstandings that surrounded Galileo and his opponents we still face today in our encounters with science and religion. By spending time with Galileo and his story, you will enrich your own faith and increase your understanding of science and religion.

Critic Reviews:

"Br. Guy Consolmagno is a gifted scientist, writer, and leader in helping people bridge their scientific and religious understandings of the cosmos. An engaging and entertaining speaker, Br. Guy has a rare talent for communicating abstract concepts to public audiences with remarkable clarity." (Dr. Grace Wolf-Chase, astronomer, Adler Planetarium)

"Guy Consolmagnos presentations are gems. Here is an accomplished scientist with strong interests in sciences history and in communicating science to a diverse public audience - he communicates skillfully to science enthusiasts but also humbly to those who have religious or cultural apprehensions regarding science. Science needs more Guys." (Professor Christopher M. Graney, Jefferson Community & Technical College, Louisville, Kentucky)

"Br. Guy Consolmagno's business is his fellow man as rational animal and spiritual being. Through his books, lectures, and life, Br. Guy puts the lie to the post-modern canard that science is the replacement for religion, that one must choose between one's profession and one's faith. He does this with humor, wisdom, and deep knowledge." (Jonathan Lunine, David C. Duncan Professor in the Physical Sciences, Cornell University, and director, Center for Radiophysics and Space Research)
