     God’s Ongoing Revelation

    “The Bethlehem Explosion” is a


    poem about how a common
    classroom science experiment can
    be a metaphor for the incarnation of
    Christ.

    Madeleine L’Engle was a prolific


    20th century American writer known
    for her children’s books, notably A
    Wrinkle in Time. She saw writing as
    a vocation from God.
    “Where Love Is, God Is” is a story
    about how God has a special love
    for the poor, the lowly, and the
    oppressed.

    Many consider 19th century Russian


    Leo Tolstoy to be the greatest
    novelist of all time. A Christian man,
    Tolstoy embraced a life of simple
    peasant-like poverty after achieving
    wealth and privilege.
     “A Woman of Little Faith” from The
    Brothers Karamazov presents the
    argument that a person can overcome
    difficulties in believing in God by
    concrete acts of love.

     A contemporary and fellow


    countryman of Tolstoy, Fyodor
    Dostoyevsky was another world-class
    novelist. Known as the supreme
    “novelist of ideas,” Dostoyevsky
    protested against the evils of the
    modern world from a Christian
    perspective.
     In the Letter to the Grand Duchess
    Christina of Tuscany, Galileo affirms
    that the Bible, being inspired by God,
    cannot err. However, he argues that
    often the Bible uses metaphors and
    describes the world according to the
    way people experience it rather than
    how scientific truth would describe it.

     Living and working at the beginning of


    the scientific revolution, the Catholic
    Galileo Galilei is still considered one
    of the greatest scientists of all time.
    Galileo also integrated within himself
    science and faith.
     The “Address to the Pontifical
    Science” is a discourse on the
    relationship between science
    and Divine Revelation on the
    occasion of the Pontifical
    Academy of Sciences
    examination of the Galileo case.

     A deeply wise and learned man,


    Pope John Paul II reigned almost
    twenty-seven years. Pope John
    Paul II also had a keen interest in
    science among many other
    academic, social, and spiritual
    issues.
