    Theology - Creation: Consider the olive

    [Print] | [Email]

    Constantine says that some created things “possess wonderful properties, and the full apprehension of which is very difficult.  Like hot springs.

    Or “the fruit of the olive-tree and the vine,” which “deserve especial notice; the one for its power of renovating and cheering the soul, the other because it ministers to our enjoyment, and is likewise adapted for the cure of bodily disease.”

    “Numberless,” he concludes, “are the gifts which God has bestowed for the comfort and enjoyment of man.”
