Cosmic Love
Nature, Science and God
The first part of Cosmic Love begins with an account of the rise of science and the shift in characterizations of nature from a mysterious Goddess to an ordered collection of material objects. This is followed by reflections on the feminist critique of science and the implications of indeterminacy in quantum theory. It concludes that a more complete account of nature will be one that takes a higher point of view, that includes all our senses, and that has a more explanatory power.
The second part explores concepts of love, particularly passionate love, and Teilhard’s proposal that love is the least understood and most powerful force in the universe. It concludes that love is a force for union, inherently personal, a pointer to the divine, and an evolutionary promise for the future.
The third part of the book explores ideas about God not just as a creator, but as inherent (and incarnate) in creation, with a consideration of the God of religions, with a focus on a God of the future rather more than the past, and a God disclosed in Jesus Christ. The book will close with a personal conclusion on the God of faith and the God of surprises.
