From black holes to holograms, from relativity theory to the discovery of quarks, an original exposition of quantum theory tht unravels profound theological questions
This title provides an astonishing synthesis of humankind's understanding of the Great Spirit that energizes and runs through all creation.
In this thought-provoking and rambunctious follow-up to Quantum Theology, English priest and social psychologist Diarmuid O Murchu celebrates the spiritual renaissance of our time as an alternative to religious fanaticism and religious indifference. He sees this phenomenon as part of the evolving spiritual story of humankind stretching back 70,000 years. The spirituality that is appealing to seekers today embodies global, inclusive, co-operative, egalitarian, and feminine values. O'Murchu outlines its linkage of the new cosmology with a respect for the natural world through the spirituality of native peoples. He points out its embrace of pre-patriarchal values of relatedness, passion, feeling, imagination, and justice. Two other accents of this new paradigm are its emphasis upon the erotic power of spirituality and its reappropriation of the shadow in all its diverse dimensions. Only time will tell what new permutations this global spirituality will take. O'Murchu has done a fine job mapping out its contemporary lineaments.
"This book outlines a new theological paradigm focusing on the Spirit at work in creation, rather than the Jesus concerned primarily with human salvation, thus offering an empowering theology to which every human being can make a contribution"--
The author of Quantum Theology presents a synthesis of science, theology, and spirituality while exploring the meaning of evolution and the spiritual underpinnings of the new sciences. Original.
The author of "Quantum Theory and Reclaiming Spirituality" offers an original work that expands the meaning--and potential for good--of the three traditional religious vows.
He did not fit into the conventional culture of his day. He questioned many of its core beliefs. He sought to empower the oppressed, and he paid the ultimate price for living this way. Yet 2000 years of tradition has replaced this revolutionary Jesus with an earthly prince - a ruler and hero - rather than the prophetic rebel who changed the course of history.
How is it possible to pray when God is dislocated from heaven, dispersed all around us, and more of a creative force than an all-knowing father?
O'Murchu offers penetrating, original insights into evolving spiritual awareness, one that is rapidly out-growing the time honored but exhausted vision of formal religion.
