This book explores and sheds light on the contemporary discourse between science and religion. Employing the methodological approach of modern science, Overcoming Reductionism aims to explain natural phenomena not in isolation from philosophical or theological interpretations. The book then focuses on the concept of pain. Although pain is a phenomenon familiar to all humans, defining it exclusively in terms of nociception proves challenging. This book therefore delves into the intricate nature of the phenomenon, critically acknowledging the way pain profoundly influences the construction of one's existential meaning, particularly concerning matters of faith. The age-old quandaries of pain, suffering, and evil have troubled humans for countless generations. Perhaps never before have scientific inquiry and theological reflection experienced such a deep connection as in these times. Horvat and Roszak demonstrate the benefits of adopting a holistic approach while acknowledging the limitations of reductionist views. The reader will find here a meaningful quest for answers to profound existential questions while exploring uncharted territory. - -Professor John Anthony Berry (University of Malta) I highly recommend reading the book. Written in a clear, compact, rigorous and consistent manner, it develops one of the most intriguing and decisive problems of human existence: pain and suffering. An inexhaustible issue that needs to be permanently updated and re-signified at the pace of scientific advances and cultural changes, something that the authors Horvat & Roszak carry out in this book in a masterful way. -Professor Leandro Gaitán (University of Navarra).

In his richly documented and still valuable study of Aquinas and the Church Fathers, published in 1946, Gottfried Geenen, O.P. noted that the study of this aspect of Thomas Aquinas?s thought was just beginning to take place. More than seventy years later considerable progress has been made, both historically and doctrinally, not at least due to the technological advances in the area of the study of Aquinas? writings. It has been argued both that Aquinas had a remarkable knowledge of a wide range of the Church Fathers and that he was actively engaged in acquiring new material from hitherto unknown Fathers. Due to Thomas? profound commitment to both Latin and Greek patristic sources he was not only able to draw on the rich tradition of the past but also explore new possibilities and solutions. This commitment and interaction between tradition and speculative reason has led some to claim tentatively that one might characterize Thomas Aquinas? theology as being ad mentem patrum. 0The goal of this volume is to explore ways to corroborate this claim. In order to do so, the contributions investigate the presence and use of the Church Fathers in Aquinas? thought both historically and systematically.
