Product Description

Product Description

British biologist Rupert Sheldrake and American priest Matthew Fox share an interest in going beyond the current limitations of institutional science and mechanistic religion. They both believe that as a new millennium dawns, a new vision is needed which brings together science, spirituality and a sense of the sacred. Their separation underlies the present crises of ecological devastation, despair and disempowerment. How else can hope in a new sense of meaning be awakened if not by the coming together of those two powerful traditions that were rent asunder in the 17th century? A new cosmology is needed that speaks to hearts as well as to minds. This volume presents dialogues, which emerged as Sheldrake and Fox spoke together in public and private settings on both sides of the Atlantic. They are preliminary explorations into this new territory. They examine the implications that flow from a recognition of living nature and the ways of grace. Rupert Sheldrake is the author of "Seven Experiments That Could Change the World". Matthew Fox is the author of "Original Blessing".

5.0 out of 5 stars an inspiring, fascinating book, 4 Nov 2006
By Raphael (London) - See all my reviews
This book must have been on my shelf for several years before I decided to read it, and when I did I was thrilled with the combination of free thinking, Christianity and ecological thinking thta I found. Rupert Sheldrake is a British biologist, Matthew fox is an American priest and former Dominican. I found Fox to be very inspiring because of his rich tradition of Catholic teaching which he combines with native spirituality and freedom of thought. The book is packed with ideas, some brilliant, some frankly whacky. Where I felt uncomfortable with it was where they speak about the concept of the Cosmic Christ, which Fox portrays as a very impersonal universal figure. I think that is why Fox fell out with the Vatican: The Christian view of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ seems to be missing from Fox's thinking, which is a great tragedy. Much has been said about Ratzinger's striking off of Fox. Perhaps it was right that he did, but that is not to dismiss the contribution of Matthew Fox to an enlivened modern religious expression. This book is a wonderful dialogue between a scientist and a priest, and I strongly recommend it for the sense of creativity and more importantly of the sacred that it brings.
