This book presents a comprehensive history of the many contributions the Jesuits made to science from their founding to the present. It also links the Jesuits dedication to science with their specific spirituality which tries to find God in all things. The book begins with Christopher Clavius, professor of mathematics in the Roman College between 1567 and 1595, the initiator of this tradition. It covers Jesuits scientific contributions in mathematics, astronomy, physics and cartography up until the suppression of the order by the Pope in 1773. Next, the book details the scientific work the Jesuits pursued after their restoration in 1814. It examines the establishment of a network of observatories throughout the world; details contributions made to the study of tropical hurricanes, earthquakes and terrestrial magnetism and examines such important figures as Angelo Secchi, Stephen J. Perry, James B. Macelwane and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. From their founding to the present, Jesuits have trodden an uncommon path to the frontiers where the Christian message is not yet known. Jesuits’ work in science is also an interesting chapter in the general problem of the relation between science and religion. This book provides readers with a complete portrait of the Jesuit scientific tradition. Its engaging story will appeal to those with an interest in the history of science, the history of the relations between science and religion and the history of Jesuits.

Si la figure du jésuite Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) continue-d'attirer l'attention aujourd'hui, voire de fasciner, ce n'est pas seulement à cause de sa double qualité de scientifique et de théologien, mais aussi grâce à la dimension spirituelle de son parcours. Celui qui fut un éminent géologue et paléontologue, soucieux de mettre en tension la dynamique de l'évolution et celle de la foi chrétienne, s'est révélé aussi comme un grand spirituel.Ses écrits théologiques et sa correspondance témoignent d'une intense vie de prière et d'une profonde relation avec le Dieu de Jésus-Christ. Mais à côté de tentes accessibles et souvent connus, tels l'Hymne de l'univers et sa fameuse Messe sur le monde, il reste que bien des prières et des méditations spirituelles du père Teilhard se trouvent dispersées dans nombre de ses oeuvres. Jésuite et scientifique lui-aussi, Agustín Udías a eu la bonne idée de les regrouper dans ce volume et d'en faire à chaque fois une courte présentation.On y retrouve les grands thèmes qui animent la mystique de l'auteur du Phénomène humain, dans toute sa richesse. On y perçoit davantage sa quête passionnée d'un Dieu proche et vivant, qui se déploie dans l'ampleur de sa Création pour attirer à lui tous les hommes.
