The cosmic vision of teilhard de chardin - john f. haught

An expert in Teilhardian thought brings together for the first time Teilhard in conversation with other significant religious thinkers, philosophers, and scientists, including Kant, Whitehead, Barbour, Moltmann and Tillich, on topics ranging from the problem of suffering to astrobiology.

The Jesuit paleontologist and theologian, Teilhard de Chardin, has been much admired as well as much misunderstood.

In this unique treatment, John F.

Haught clarifies Teilhards thought, while not shying away from the controversies and criticisms.

Each chapter explores a different topic-including the cosmos, spirituality, suffering, thought, God, and life-and how each topic has developed the authors own theology.

In particular, Haught focuses on the cosmic future and the implications of Teilhards thought for this century and beyond.
