Produktbeschreibung
It stirs feelings of reverence and wonder as well as a sense of gratitude that we are part of the cosmic drama. And it teaches us to be more humble in the face of such an immense reality. Whether and how it is possible to recover a living sense of ultimate Mystery in view of the alleged demystification of the universe by modern science is the great challenge to religion in our time. Paul Brockleman shows that a profound sense of wonder and awe is inseparable from our new understanding of our universe - of its great age, its immensity, and its astonishing complexity. He concludes that this understanding can and will lead to actual transformation in people's lives - changes not only in how they see life, but how they live out their lives in the light of that vision.
In this fascinating look at the spiritual side of modern cosmology, the author of "The Greening of Faith: God, the Environment, and the Good Life" seeks to bridge the gap between the scientific and the spiritual, offering a vision of a "wider order of being".
