Augustine And Evolution: A Study In The Saint's De Genesi Ad Litteram And De Trinitate

By Henry Woods

Book Overview

Augustine and Evolution: A Study in the Saint's De Genesi Ad Litteram and De Trinitate is a book written by Henry Woods. The book is a detailed analysis of the works of Saint Augustine, particularly his De Genesi Ad Litteram and De Trinitate, in relation to the concept of evolution. It explores the ways in which Augustine's ideas on creation and the nature of God's involvement in the world can be seen as compatible with the theory of evolution. The author argues that Augustine's views on the nature of God's creative power and the role of humans in the world can be seen as anticipating some of the key ideas of modern evolutionary theory. The book also examines the ways in which Augustine's ideas have been interpreted and applied by later thinkers, including Darwin and Teilhard de Chardin. Overall, Augustine and Evolution offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between Christian theology and evolutionary science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
