Abstract
This paper addresses itself to the problem of how to read correctly what two books have to say on the same subject matter.
In both of them God speaks to us of what He has done. Since He does not contradict Himself, what He says in one book must be found to be in accord with what He proclaims in the other.
The two books of God are Holy Scripture and the book of nature. Both have something to say to us about the topic of creation.
