Astronomical Psalms

In Astronomical Psalms, Dr. Arnold Benz, a renowned astrophysicist, reflects on the awe-inspiring features of the universe, weaving together the story told by modern science with a deep, faith-grounded response.


Rooted in both personal experience and professional exploration, these reflections arise from star-filled nights and the profound questions that emerge in their stillness. Echoing the spirit—though not the form—of the ancient Psalms, Dr. Benz invites readers into a contemplative space where science and spirituality meet. These meditations reconnect the expanding knowledge of the cosmos with timeless themes of wonder, praise, and thanksgiving.


As scientific understanding continues to evolve, so too does our sense of amazement. Through these “astronomical psalms,” Dr. Benz offers a unique first-person perspective that draws together science, faith, and existential insight—hinting at a presence beyond what can be measured, and awakening a renewed appreciation for our place in the universe.
