God after Einstein
Author: John F. Haught
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300265263
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
A leading theologian presents a hopeful account of the universe after Einstein, exploring it as a meaningful drama of awakening “This book is a deep and provocative piece of theology that proposes we engage with the universe as a kind of narrative of awakening and unfolding, as well as an important and useful approach for thinking about theology with respect to modern cosmology.”—Matthew Stanley, New York University Before the early twentieth century, scientists and theologians knew almost nothing about time’s enormity and the corresponding immensity of space. But now, after Einstein, cosmology offers theology a whole new way of looking at the ageless questions about matter, time, God, cosmic purpose, and the significance of our lives. The universe need not be thought of as simply an endless reshuffling of lifeless and mindless atoms in a pointless series of moments. Rather, the universe is a temporal drama of awakening whose meaning can be revealed only gradually by looking, in a spirit of anticipation and hope, toward the horizon of the cosmic future. In conversation with Einstein’s ideas and opinions, John F. Haught develops here a new cosmological understanding of the meaning of God, time, eternity, mystery, life, thought, freedom, and faith. In doing so, he offers readers a new way of understanding the relationship of science to theology.

The New Cosmic Story
Author: John F. Haught
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 030021703X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
A foremost thinker on science and religion argues that an adequate understanding of cosmic history requires attention to the emergence of interiority, including religious aspiration Over the past two centuries scientific advances have made it clear that the universe is a story still unfolding. In this thought-provoking book, John F. Haught considers the deeper implications of this discovery. He contends that many others who have written books on life and the universe--including Stephen Hawking, Stephen Jay Gould, and Richard Dawkins--have overlooked a crucial aspect of cosmic history: the drama of life's awakening to interiority and religious awareness. Science may illuminate the outside story of the universe, but a full telling of the cosmic story cannot ignore the inside development that interiority represents. Haught addresses two primary questions: what does the arrival of religion tell us about the universe, and what does our understanding of the cosmos as an unfinished drama tell us about religion? The history of religion may be ambiguous and sometimes even barbarous, he asserts, but its role in the story of cosmic emergence and awakening must be taken into account.

The New Spiritual Exercises
Author: Louis M. Savary
Publisher: Paulist Press
ISBN: 0809146959
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
One can say that the last true revolution in spirituality came with the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola. Many devout Christians use the Exercises unchanged from their origins in the sixteenth century. In the twentieth century, another Jesuit, Pierre Teilhard he Chardin, developed a revolutionary spirituality by integrating science and faith, offering us a new way to understand the Word of God and the immensity of the Universal Christ. Unfortunately, he never spelled out how to practice this new understanding in our daily lives. Louis Savary offers an approach on how the Spiritual Exercises could be re-envisioned for contemporary believers, using the transformative spirituality of Teilhard. The New Spiritual Exercises provides a vision of how a twenty-first century Teilhard might have adapted Ignatius' classic work-in the hope that Teilhard himself would approve. Book jacket.
