Neo-Genesis

Evolution, whether theory or fact, is impacting the Judeo-Christian traditions radically. For Catholics and other Christian religions, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin--a French Jesuit priest and highly regarded geologist and paleontologist--accommodates evolution with his consistent faith and vision. His travels and research across continents convinced him of God's presence and energy in all of creation. NEO-GENESIS is an imaginative, poetic and thoughtful response and interpretation of Teilhard's ideas and vision. In a sense, it is an evolutionary extension of the writer's own mind and faith. Echoed within these pages are Teilhard's faith and vision and his revolutionary thinking. To the author, one's faith is not only a gift but, like evolution, a growth journey. Teilhard's life attests to that. His faith and calling withstood many tests while his vision of God's creating love grew consistently clearer. NEO-GENESIS is a think-piece, meant to be read in varying moments of one's own journey. Evolution, like creation itself, is eternal. This little book, its author hopes, provides an insight into that revolutionary vision.
