Brockelman paul (67 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Many people have observed that the "new cosmology" seems to have an affinity to, or at least room for, a religious understanding of reality. Why is this so, and what does it mean for contemporary spirituality? In this book Paul Brockleman argues that the new scientific cosmology also functions as a religious creation story, or "cosmogony". Traditional creation mythologies, he says, are stories which make available to a particular culture a vision of an ultimately meaningful sacred reality; they show precisely how all of creation (including ourselves) emerges from and is situated within that reality. This understanding can provide the basis for a comprehensive guide to living. Although quite different from earlier creation myths, says Brockleman, the new cosmology is indeed an evolutionary story spanning over twelve to fifteen billion years. This evolutionary story directly parallels the nature, characteristics, and stages involved in the traditional stories: It is an all-inclusive and deep vision of all creation which, like the earlier myths, reveals both a sense of what reality is all about and what the human role and destiny is within it. It stirs feelings of reverence and wonder as well as a sense of gratitude that we are part of the cosmic drama. And it teaches us to be more humble in the face of such an immense reality. Whether and how it is possible to recover a living sense of ultimate Mystery in view of the alleged demystification of the universe by modern science is the great challenge to religion in our time. Paul Brockleman shows that a profound sense of wonder and awe is inseparable from our new understanding of our universe - of its great age, its immensity, and its astonishing complexity. He concludes that this understanding can and will lead to actual transformation in people's lives - changes not only in how they see life, but how they live out their lives in the light of that vision.…

Dj lt. edge wear; unclipped 23.00, protected in new, clear sleeve. In this fascinating look at the spiritual side of modern cosmology, the author of "The Greening of Faith: God, the Environment, and the Good Life" seeks to bridge the gap between the scientific and the spiritual, offering a vision of a "wider order of being". Brockelman argues that both theologians and scientists are reaching a consensus that God is neither nature itself nor located apart from it, but is available to mystical experience within it, and he teases out the implications of this world view for transforming moral, political, and spiritual life. The principles he articulates are always quite sound: The wonder we experience before the mysterious emergence of all of reality enables us to find our meaningful home and destiny within it. 194 pages.
