 General Description:

By Cardinal Ernesto Ruffini

A Recognized Classic! Now newly reprinted for our times!

Cardinal Ruffini's recognized classic, La Teoria della Evoluzione secondo la Scienza e la Fede, is famous among students of science, philosophy, history, theology and Scripture not only for the depth and breath of its wisdom and for the unusual thoroughness of its treatment, but probably more so for the unusual clarity and simplicity of its writing. 

Certainly this is why His Eminence is revered by his former students ?priests and bishops laboring in all quarters of the world ?as a great and kindly teacher.

 

 

To make the profound seem profound leads to discouragement; to make the profound enjoyably understood ?this is kindness and greatness. And Cardinal Ernesto Ruffini's Theory of Evolution Judged by Reason and Faith, one of his most important teaching accomplishments, is now available to all priests and students of the English-speaking world.

In Theory of Evolution Judged by Reason and Faith, Cardinal Ruffinin addresses himself to the subjects of Darwinian evolution and, with greater emphasis, to its mitigated form of transformism ?the evolution of the human body, not of the human soul. Against both positions His Eminence arrays the findings of science (paleontology, embryology, anatomy, physiology, parasitism, genetics, etc.), the teachings of the Scholastics and the Fathers of the Church, and (most significantly, since he is a Cardinal member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission) the authority of Scripture scholars. This work, more convincingly and more thoroughly than any other, makes sharply clear the mind of the Roman Catholic Church on the two subjects under analysis.

It goes without saying, from the recommendation of both authorship and content of Theory of Evolution Judged by Reason and Faith, that this work belongs to every Catholic student in the English-speaking world, whether that student of the mind of the Church be professor-emeritus on a seminary faculty or the young seminarian whom he inspires, whether it be the parish priest or his young parishioners at college.

From the Foreword
of the Most Reverend Thomas A. Boland,
Archbishop of Newark

Cardinal Ruffini passed away in 1967, just 6 years after the publication of this work.  Nonetheless, this tribute from a fellow bishop is still pertinent in understanding the profound influence that His Eminence exercised upon souls during his lifetime.

 

His Eminence, who taught Sacred Scripture for many years (1913-1930) in the Roman Seminary and the Urban College of the Propagation of the Faith, was the esteemed and beloved professor of numberless priests and prelates in many countries throughout the world. I feel confident that the present volume in its English translation will be received with grateful recognition by his thousands of former students in America who not only admired his profound scholarship and fervent eloquence as a lecturer, but have always looked upon him as a kind friend and model of priestly virtue. 

The Theory of Evolution Judged by Reason and Faith by His Eminence, Cardinal Ruffini, is a case against the evolution of the body of man from pre-existent and living matter. His discussion is that of an expert in Biblical Studies. The reasons against the theory of evolution are presented with telling force and with "the necessary gravity, moderation and discretion...." The significance and great value of the study lies in the wealth and weight of the theological and scriptural argument against the theory, although His Eminence with equal force points out the weaknesses in the scientific arguments advanced in favor of the theory of evolution of the human body.
