Christ in All Things provides a comprehensive treatment of Teilhard's profound spiritual vision. It is one of the best books on Teilhard and a 'must read' for those seeking a deeper understanding of his work. --Ilia Delio, OSF, editor, From Teilhard to Omega 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 marginalized during his lifetime, today his insights underlie many of the most important trends in contemporary spirituality. Ursula King shows how Teilhard's perception of Christ in all things was the key to his holistic vision. 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.

Ursula King believes that women everywhere are seeking a life-affirming spirituality in response to the needs and opportunities of the age. Women and Spirituality gives a wide-ranging account of women's relations with the world's religions and the spiritual dimension of human life.

Moving from the early Christian age to modern times, with emphasis on the high points of mysticism in the medieval, early modern and Eastern Orthodox traditions, this title tells the story of people whose mystical devotion to God transformed the times in which they lived and still affects our present-day search for spiritual meaning.
