A restless spiritual seeker, Teilhard emphasized that the universe is unfinished, always on the move—and God, the Alpha and the Omega, is at its center. Teilhard will challenge you to think through the implications of God’s creative action being made manifest in evolutionary terms. As you will discover, within this cosmic vision lies a new mysticism—the ability to see God in Christ and in all things.
With a remarkable capacity for synthesis, Teilhard invites you into his powerful, compelling vision of the universe. Join him on this mystical journey today.

Teilhard’s writings are very complex and challenging, they are clear and easy to understand in this program. I especially like that they can be listened to during long drives making double use of the drive time and increasing the pleasure of the drive. They also can be listened to many times to increase understanding of what I believe to be the greatest mind of the 20th Century.

The presenter does an excellent job of digesting Teilhard’s thoughts so we lay folk can absorb concepts we never would have if we had just read his essays. Every one attending this parish sponsored series is thrilled with the course.

Life is a story problem from the Creator.
Life is a story problem from the Creator. Teilhard de Chardin helps us to discern the story and gives us the challenge to follow through to participate in the story of creation and doing our part to move it to its dramatic conclusion and denouement.

I believe his genius is equal to those Giants who have revolutionized the way we think and understand truth.
Teilhard de Chardin is the first scientist/ theologian to identify the need to reunite science and religion and provide the foundation for doing so. I believe his genius is equal to those Giants who have revolutionized the way we think and understand truth. It is important for our future that the public begin to recognize that. Your media is helping that happen.

A thoughtful, reverent presentation related to the road ahead.
My experience with many religious programs is that we are, in the words of Marshall McLuhan, driving into the future with our eyes on the rear view mirror. This is a thoughtful, reverent presentation related to the road ahead.

All advanced thinking recognizes the need to move from a static to an evolutionary worldview.
It is my conviction that Teilhard de Chardin has given the world the foundation for moving to a new level of understanding between science and religion. They are not in conflict and recognizing their compability is essential for comprehending man’s place in the evolution of both matter and spirit. All advanced thinking recognizes the need to move from a static to an evolutionary worldview.

Teilhard’s thought points to the future and ties together science and spirituality. Father Goergen lays out his thought in a way that connects it to modern experience and sensibility. I have frequently used one or the other of his lectures as a basis for prayer.

The author and the teacher, Donald Goergen, O.P. tread new ground in both religious insights and in an appreciation of the material universe and embodiment. This prepares the way for contemporary writers understanding both theology and its crossroads with physical science.
