Abstract "In this book-the author's fourth dedicated to applying Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI's wisdom to pressing theological difficulties-Matthew Ramage attempts to square advances in the field of evolutionary biology with the Bible as interpreted through the teaching of the Catholic Church. Distinguishing between evolutionary theory properly speaking and materialist philosophy, Ramage's work both addresses the challenge of evolutionary science to Catholic teaching on human origins and argues that discoveries in evolutionary biology yield precious insight into the mystery of God's saving plan in Christ, applying Ratzinger's principles to such issues as the meaning of man's special creation, the relationship between sin and death, and the implications of evolution for eschatology"-- Provided by publisher.
