“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 20 th 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 19 th 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 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.

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.
