| Description: |
Building on the work of Teilhard de Chardin, the New Cosmology integrates scientific facts and theories, including discoveries about the expanding universe and evolution, and proposes that creation is developing into greater complexity. While a ready concern for all Christians, this has unique implications for women religious whose lives are centred on the person and mission of Jesus Christ. How is a Catholic sister to understand her vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience in light of a cosmology in which the need for redemption and the role of Jesus are significantly redefined?
Laurie Brink OP, a Dominican Sister who has authored articles and books on Scripture, religious life, and spirituality probes this complexity and offers possible answers. Beginning with the experiences of women religious and their encounter with the New Cosmology or Universe Story, her book seeks to mediate among the various perspectives and proposes how informed and reflective engagement with science, tradition, and theology can bridge the generational divides and foster a spirituality that is both emergent and incarnational.
Access to online discussion and reflection questions is included. |
