Cosmos and Revelation
Science and technology have profoundly altered the cosmic and societal perceptions of the world. Regrettably, the Christian imagination has not kept pace. Most believers still adhere to pre-scientific views. Cosmos and Revelation urges the Christian community to reimagine God’s creation by engaging the data of science. For if God has indeed brought forth an intelligible world for us to explore through scientific research, those who profess this faith ought to, as a minimum, allow scientific findings to expand their theological horizon. Drawing on his scientific qualification and academic background in theology, Peter R. Stork opens several windows on God’s creation, from galactic star nurseries to the wonderland of living cells. After rereading Genesis 1 and 2, the author interlaces examples and reflections to present a coherent yet provocative sketch of the new landscape that spreads out before us, leaving it to his readers to intuit for themselves the immensities Christians are challenged to embrace in the age of science.

Violence, Desire, and the Sacred
Showcases the application of René Girard's mimetic theory across a range of disciplines, including philosophy, religious studies, literature and cultural studies.
Human Rights in Crisis
Relying on Rene Girard's theory of mimetic desire and the dramatic theology of Raymund Schwager, this monograph examines the fragility and failure of the human rights system when faced with escalating global violence. One of the author's central concerns is the human condition that makes violence foundational to the social order. He also argues that the human rights crisis is neither an accident nor a shortfall in implementation but the result of subconscious, collective structures of civilization itself. In the theological key, the author relates the notion of imitative desire to data of Christian hope enabling the reader to reflect on important questions of human rights from a fresh perspective. This highly topical and necessarily controversial work should appeal to a broad readership. Social and political scientists, educators, contextual theologians, as well as readers with a critical concern for the future of human rights, and those who are searching for new approaches to the problem of mounting violence, will find this wide-ranging anthropological and theological investigation both provocative and encouraging."
