A Window to the Divine: Creation Theology

Zachary Hayes O.F.M. is a profoundly gifted historian of theological ideas, as well as being a theologian. This is a brilliant yet compulsively readable book that is of great value to some one like me --- who has a very hard time reading the primary sources --- Augustine, Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Rahner --- in their entirety. I'm in the midst of studying all Hayes' published work, and cannot at this point summarize all I'm learning, and coming to understand, through Hayes. But I invite others to tap the brilliance here, and read this along with me. Let me quote the concluding paragraph of the book: "The cosmos as seen through the lense of modern science need not be a threat to belief in God. But such a vision of the world does, indeed, confront us with a question of great importance. How big a God do we believe in? It certainly gives reason to reflect on the fecundity and the creative artistry of the Creator." --Writers like Hayes who work in clear and beautiful prose for the popular reader as well as the teacher or the fellow theologian are immensely valuable. - Highly recommended.
