Pinon Pine: A Natural and Cultural History Book

I had to put reading this book on hold to give way to Henri de Lubac's Catholicism: Christ and the Common Destiny of Man. Now that I have finished this, I had a renewed appreciation of Benedict XVI, which, sadly was not greatly appreciated by many and worse, contrasted with Francesco. I have seen here Benedict not merely as a scholar, but also and most importantly, a man of prayer and devotion, something which you cannot separate from his own theology. This is a magnificent treatment of the Church Fathers, with carefully selected texts and passages, and this is one of the few books that I am going to keep in order to remind myself of what it means to do theology well.
