Stanley L. Jaki, a Hungarian-born Catholic priest of the Benedictine Order, was Distinguished University Professor at Seton Hall University, South Orange, New Jersey. With doctorates in theology and physics, for over forty years he specialized in the history and philosophy of science. The author of over fifty books and about four hundred articles, he served as Gifford Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh and as Fremantle Lecturer at Balliol College, Oxford. He lectured at major universities in the United States, Europe, and Australia. He was an honorary member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, membre correspondant of the Académie Nationale des Sciences, Belles-Lettres et Arts of Bordeaux, and the recipient of the Lecomte du Nouy Prize for 1970 and of the Templeton Prize for 1987. In addition, he established the Real View Books series to reprint books that are significant to the understanding and defense of Christian doctrine and culture. Each of these books has a long and instructive introduction by Father Jaki.  In 2002 Father Jaki published his “intellectual autobiography,” A Mind’s Matter,  which contains a list of his publications.  This is now available through Real View Books. The second edition (July 2009) of a book about Stanley Jaki by Paul Haffner, Creation and Scientific Creativity: A Study in the Thought of S.L. Jaki. is also available. The reader will find in this book the first systematic treatment of those ideas in Father Jaki's now more than four-decade-long studies that earned him the highest forms of recognition. “
