Description
"In 2005 the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Scho?nborn wrote a guest editorial in The New York Times that sparked a worldwide debate about 'Creation and Evolution.' Pope Benedict XVI instructed the Cardinal to study more closely this problem and the current debate between 'evolutionism' and 'creationism, ' and asked the yearly gathering of his former students to address these questions. Even after Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI, he has continued to maintain close contact show more with the circle of his former students. The 'study circle' (Schu?lerkreis) meets once a year with Pope Benedict XVI for a conference. Many of these former Ratzinger students have gone on to become acclaimed scholars, professors and writers, as well as high ranking Church prelates. This book documents the proceedings of the remarkable conference on the topic of 'Creation and Evolution' hosted by Pope Benedict XVI in 2006 at the papal summer residence, Castel Gandolfo. It includes papers that were presented from the fields of natural science, philosophy and theology, and records the subsequent discussion, in which Pope Benedict XVI himself participated."-- show lessTags
