From the Dust of the Earth Quotes

“The following pages endeavor to showcase Benedict's conviction that modern scientific discoveries are not merely tolerated but rather welcomed as gifts that may enable the Church to penetrate the mystery of Christ and the deposit of faith in ever greater depth.”

― Matthew J. Ramage, From the Dust of the Earth: Benedict XVI, the Bible, and the Theory of Evolution
