Product Description

•••••

Journey into the exciting life of Nicolas Steno, the father of geology whose passion for truth led him to groundbreaking scientific discovery and a deep religious devotion. Interwoven into this biography of a scientist and Catholic bishop is the story of fossils and the hidden history of the earth beneath our feet. With an extensive glossary of scientific terms and delightful field-guide sketches, this beautifully crafted book will inspire any young person eager to learn about the natural world and its Creator.

The Riddle of the Tongue-Stones tells the story of Blessed Nicholas Steno who lived about 200 years before the theory of evolution was first posed, so this topic and any debate between those perspectives is not exactly touched on in this story. The book instead focuses on the true story of a man who pursued a greater understanding of truth through both faith and reason.
