Synopsis

This book is a beginning effort to look at the growing conversation between theologians and scientists, and to apply it to our liturgical life. Systematic theologians of the last twenty years have entered this dialogue with promising results. Theologies of creation, God, Christology, and Pneumatology are all receiving attention as we struggle to integrate the New Science of cosmology and quantum physics with our belief system.

Content

Chapter 1 The Challenge of the New Cosmology

  • Cousins argues, on the verge of the emergence of a second Axial Period, which began with the Copernican revolution; the transformation of consciousness of our age is that from individual to global consciousness.
  • “Because of the close ties between cosmic and religious models, Cousins claims “this new experience of space will open new varieties of religious experience and give new meaning to cosmological symbols.
  • “What is a cosmology? In short, a cosmology is how human persons experience themselves in relation to the cosmos. It is the lens through which reality is viewed and interpreted. A cosmology tells you how things are in reality, what really matters, and provides the foundation for core values, belief systems, and moral norms. A cosmology gives a community meaning and purpose.”
  • “In the twentieth century, through the work of scientists like Albert Einstein and Edwin Hubble, our perception of the world enlarged beyond the earth and our solar system to a much greater appreciation of the size and complexity of the universe.”
  • “Since Einstein and his theory of general relativity, we have come to realize that space, time, and mass are related and that the universe is expanding.”
  • “For Kuhn, a paradigm was “the entire constellation of beliefs, values, techniques, and so on shared by the members of a given community.” ”
  • “Kuhn suggests using the term “paradigm shift” to describe that movement from one set of theoretical rules and methods that no longer answer all the problems of normal science to a new set of rules and methods that are simply more successful than their competitors.”
