Living Cosmology: Christian Responses to Journey of the Universe
Click for this Resource!
From the introduction:
Since the earliest expressions of culture, humans have sought to understand and efine our place in the universe. To this end, we have developed cosolgies, which are stories that invoke our common experience of reality. These stories describe where have come fro and where we are going. The religioius and philosophical traditions we have honored for millennia all bear witness to our deep desire to find orientation and meaning in what we see, experience, and feel around us.

Strange – lots of single letters missing from the text: efine for refine, cosolgies for cosmologies, etc.
I am interested in learning more about how different religious traditions are responding to this amazing new development. Thank God for Evolution is my first real connection. Looking for more. Reviews in Amazon on this book are not too encouraging.
