Christ in All Things: Exploring Spirituality with Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - Softcover

Christ in all Things offers both a concise introduction to the spiritual vision of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and a fascinating survey of contemporary themes in spirituality through a "Teilhardian" lens. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) was a French Jesuit theologian and scientist, renowned for his efforts to integrate Christian theology with the insights of evolutionary theory and modern cosmology. Though Teilhard's voice was marginalised during his lifetime, today his insights underlie many of the most important trends in contemporary spirituality. In successive chapters she examines how many contemporary discussions - concerning the sources of Christian spirituality, the role of mysticism, interfaith dialogue, ecological concerns, and the dialogue between faith and science - were prefigured in his work. This revised edition shows how Teilhard's perception of Christ in all things was the key to his holistic vision.
