Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955), a French Jesuit priest and scientist, charted a new path in reconciling Christian theology with evolutionary science. Though church officials in his lifetime rejected his work, his posthumously published writings have illuminated many of the most pressing issues of our time. In particular, he articulated a new mystical vision, in tune with the findings of science and our expanding knowledge of the universe. This book, by a theologian-scientist, examines Teilhard s mysticism, showing how science can help to illuminate the mystical path, while also demonstrating the compatibility between Teilhard s thought and current frontiers in scientific exploration."

"Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) has been regarded for too long as an isoteric thinker who evacuates theology by subjecting it to scientific theory. There is an urgent need to reclaim him as a French catholic theologian with intellectual roots in the early twentieth century. Teilhard's imaginative and inspiring work is grounded in the constructive use of biblical and patristic motifs and in his own life experiences of war, exile and scientific endeavour. From these, he develops a distinctive philosophical theology which combines elements frequently assigned to the separate domains of philosophy of religion, systematic theology and mysticism. Teilhard provides a detailed theology of human embodiment and natural substance, whilst his theories of human action, passion, vision and virtue offer suggestive resources to pastoral theology. His evolutionary cosmology and social democratic politics are discussed in their historical context, and the significance of his work for the ongoing dialogue between science and religion is assessed."--BOOK JACKET.

Pierre Teilhard De Chardin on People and Planet by Celia Deane-Drummond Pdf
Humanity's relationship to nature is central to the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, an influential priest and scientist of the twentieth century. Teilhard believed that spiritual development must be viewed alongside material development and that evolutionary theory lies at the heart of humanity's understanding of its place in the world. 'Pierre Teilhard de Chardin on People and Planet' argues that Teilhard's cosmic mysticism and intense interest in both cosmological and evolutionary sciences are highly relevant to current debates about how best to construct a meaningful spirituality. The book offers a critical revision of Teilhard's thought in the light of current debates in evolutionary science, eco-theology and environmental ethics. The essays present fresh interpretations of Teilhard's work and point to the significance of his thought in the contemporary study of science and religion.
Everything Ablaze is a prayerful and practical response to the work of Teilhard de Chardin. It begins with an introduction to Teilhard's work. It then explores mystical themes in his perspectives on science and religion. Each chapter combines relevant quotations from Teilhard and contemplations on them. The goal of mystical transformation is nothing less than a new life in Christ. Teilhard shows us the path to that possibility. His mysticism is earth-conscious. His words help open us to the mysterious forces in the universe that reveal God's face. The meditative responses to the quotations include practices that bring Teilhard's ideas into daily life and will be welcomed by a general audience.
Based on the prestigious Bampton Lectures given annually at Oxford University, "Christ in All Things" offers a concise introduction to the spiritual vision of the mystic and scientist, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and a fascinating survey of contemporary themes in spirituality through a "Teilhardian" lens.
In 1919, the Jesuit scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin wrote a major essay, The Spiritual Power of Matter, which shaped his understanding of the role of struggle and conflict in evolution--whether in the material or on the spiritual plane. For Teilhard, who labored to integrate the insights of evolution with his Catholic faith, and who experienced ongoing conflicts with authorities in the church, these insights continued to play out in the rest of his life. Focusing on the meaning of his seminal essay for Teilhard's life, Kathleen Duffy explores the major struggles that he experienced in his roles as scientist, priest, mystic, friend, and member of the church.
Both mystics and scientists explore the vast reaches of the cosmos, though it can be said that scientists have been exploring outer realities of the material universe, while mystics have been exploring inner realities of the psychic world. Unfortunately, the two groups have seldom studied one another's findings with care with the objective of enhancing their own understanding of cosmic reality. There has traditionally been little interest shown among the community of physical scientists to explore those maps of consciousness brought to us by generations of saints and introspective mystics. Mystics (and saints) have seldom received sufficient training in science and technologies to model their discoveries in scientific language, while rarely have scientific materialists found time and interest (under the tacit threat of ridicule or censure) to explore consciousness introspectively in a direct, experiential way in order to obtain the perspective required to formulate an effective hard science of consciousness. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) was one of those rare few capable of bridging these "two cultures: " a priest, mystic, and scientist, he wrote extensively and produced, in scientific terms, a model for the evolution of consciousness in the universe. He left behind a legacy that he hoped would forge a new mysticism, a science-based religious understanding of the dynamics of cosmos.
