The Works of Francis Etheredge

Francis Etheredge’s Publications

What makes a writer? Writing. But about what? What matters. And so while I came out of a multi-talented family, which was well read, artistic, academic and practical, it was not automatic that I would be a writer; indeed, my first thoughts were very varied, including many failed attempts to find a course or a skill that I wanted to pursue, even abandoning early attempts at writing, all of which died or dwindled to nothing and were overtaken, year in year out, by the wearying search for an identity which, in the end, was the Christian identity of being a child of God, a sinner and loved by a redeeming love which made it possible for me to marry and found a family. Over many years of writing essays, for a variety of courses, the words of a one-time director of studies came home to me: that I was not the best student but that I had something to say and that, to put it simply, a book is a collection of essays. So, over the years, that search that is God searching for His lost sheep, those unanswered questions concerning the moment of our first beginning to exist, what constitutes an adequate account of the wholeness of human personhood, drawing on the culture of a country to see what it can contribute to welcoming life, that widening awareness of being married, a parent and all the facets of a Christian family life, pilgrimages, prayers and the society in which our young people grow up – has led to a body of work which, while relatively late in life, draws on that mixture of life experience, learning, the help of others, the word of God and the life of the Catholic Church, all of which in the providence of God is drawn upon.

Coming to the Catholic Faith is not an abstract process but arises out of the reality of living

Bioethics is rooted in the human person, not as an isolated being but as a being-in-relationship

The deeper we go into individual questions of life and love the more we encounter the mystery of God

Gerard Verschuuren’s Publications with En Route

Gerard Verschuuren’s Publications

Our Catholic beliefs have come more and more under attack. Sometimes, it is a matter of simple misunderstanding, sometimes of confusing misinformation, sometimes of vicious misrepresentation. Whatever the reason is, it damages and harms what makes the Catholic faith so precious and worthwhile. In all his books, Dr. Gerard Verschuuren tries to highlight this from different angles and perspectives – ranging from science to philosophy to history. The Catholic faith is more than just a “faith.” It also and necessarily requires reasoning and thinking. I hope that my books help you with that, as they confirm the beliefs Christians have always held. It is a perpetual confrontation with the Father of Lies, through the harmony of faith and reason.

Gerard M. Verschuuren is a human geneticist who also earned a doctorate in the philosophy of science. He studied and worked at universities in Europe and the United States. Currently semi-retired, he spends most of his time as a writer, speaker, and consultant on the interface of science and religion, faith and reason.

Currently, while semi-retired, he writes about issues at the interface of

science and religion,
science and creation,
faith and reason.

Mysteries: Quantum and Theological by Robert Kurland

Mysteries: Quantum and Theological

by Robert J. Kurland

This book endeavors to engage the reader in a qualitative understanding of physics basic to quantum mechanics (QM — wave motion, momentum, work, and energy) by walking the reader through how the field developed historically by scientists Planck, Einstein, DeBroglie, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Schwinger, Feynman, and Bell. The reader will come to appreciate the strangeness of basic QM concepts (superposition, the EPR paradox, entanglement, and measurement selection) and be able to view intersections of QM with theology (superposition and the Trinity, entanglement and Divine Action, many worlds/minds and Free Will, quantum logic and Resurrection).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Bob Kurland is a retired, cranky, old physicist who converted to Catholicism in 1995. He is a Graduate of Caltech (BS, with honor, 1951), Harvard (M.S. 1953, Physics; Ph.D. 1956, Chemical Physics), academic career, Carnegie-Mellon, SUNY/AB, MRI (Geisinger), best scientific work: search Kurland-McGarvey equation. He also served as a volunteer to federal prison and hospital; lector, EOMHC, and is a sometime player of bass clarinet, alto clarinet, clarinet, bass, tenor bowed psaltery for parish instrumental group and local folk group. He has been married 54 years and has 5 children, 11 grandchildren (eldest to graduate from Penn State Schreyer’s Honor College (grandfathers are allowed to brag!). For the story of his conversion, click here. For other blog posts about his faith as a convert from Judaism and a scientist, see here, here and here. His current effort is to show that there is no contradiction between what science tells us about the world and our Catholic faith. Intermittent blogs and adult education classes to achieve this end are available at http://rationalcatholic.blogspot.com/ and http://home.ptd.net/~rkurland)

Bob’s motivation comes from St. Augustine of Hippo, who wrote in The Trinity, 1.8:

It is also necessary may God grant it that in providing others with books to read I myself should make progress, and that in trying to answer their questions I myself should find what I am seeking. Therefore at the command of God our Lord and with his help, I have undertaken not so much to discourse with authority on matters known to me as to know them better by discoursing devoutly of them.
