In the beginning-- : a Catholic understanding of the story of Creation and the fall
Benedict (Author)
In four superb homilies and a concluding essay, Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, provides a clear and inspiring exploration of the Genesis creation narratives. While the stories of the creation of the world and of the fall of humankind have often given rise to conflict - fundamentalists twist the Bible into science and history while rationalists approach this issue by "divorcing God from creation" - Ratzinger presents the Catholic middle ground between extremist positions in explaining the vitality of these early Old Testament writings
