Description: "Whitehead and Teilhard scholars imagine a philosophical and theological encounter between the two"--
Review Quotes: "Whitehead and Teilhard remain two of the most significant philosopher-theologians of the last 100 years. This book, written by the leading experts on each thinker, is the most important step in bridge-building in several decades. The topics include life on other planets, panpsychism, and the environmental crisis, culminating with 'The Christic: Teilhard's Last Will and Testament.' A must-read text for all who recognize the continuing centrality of these two key thinkers." ꟷPhilip Clayton, Ingraham Professor, Claremont School of Theology "If you want to glimpse the possible future of religion and theology in the context of constructive interaction of science and religion, read this volume full of wonderfully innovative ideas. Delio, Davis, and their colleagues conjoin and revitalize for today's world the process philosophy of Whitehead and the evolutionary visions of Teilhard, resulting in a worldview consistent with current ideas of 13.8 billion years of cosmic evolution." ꟷSteven J. Dick, former Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology; former NASA chief historian "Cutting edge scholars Delio and Davis have edited a volume making a decisive point: the reality within which we live wraps up our minds as well as our bodies into a cosmic destiny that is directional, purposeful, and worshipful." ꟷTed Peters, co-editor, Theology and Science
