Augustine and Evolution

Stimulating!Augustine and Evolution by Henry Woods S.J. reveals Augustine’s style of biblical exegesis and interpreting scripture. Eternal truths are taught, facts narrated, future events predicted, and counsels given. The first chapter of Genesis is not a treatise on cosmic origins, nor does it give the plain statement of an astronomer, a geologist or a naturalist. Explaining his many well-posited ideas, he insists that God created matter and form simultaneously as He spoke His life-giving words! Beautiful!
