Publisher's Synopsis
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 explores the views of Saint Augustine on the topic of evolution and how they relate to his theological beliefs. Augustine was a Christian philosopher who lived in the fourth and fifth centuries and is considered one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Christianity. The book focuses on two of Augustine's major works, De Genesi ad Litteram (Literal Interpretation of Genesis) and De Trinitate (On the Trinity), to examine his ideas on the origins of life and the role of God in creation. Woods analyzes Augustine's writings in the context of the debates about evolution that were taking place in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and shows how Augustine's ideas continue to be relevant today. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of theology, philosophy, and evolutionary biology, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of science and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
