Just Arrived

Circles and the Cross: Cosmos, Consciousness, Christ, and the Human Place in Creation

by Loren Wilkinson, Peter Harris
$11.90
Circles and the Cross: Cosmos, Consciousness, Christ, and the Human Place in Creation
Circles and the Cross: Cosmos, Consciousness, Christ, and the Human Place in Creation

Faith, wonder, and science woven into creation

This feels like a thoughtful companion for anyone drawn to big questions about existence, consciousness, and the meaning of creation. Wilkinson writes with the patience of someone who has lived with these ideas for decades, bringing theology, science, and environmental concern into one reflective conversation. If you enjoy books that make you pause, think deeply, and see the world with renewed wonder, this could be a rich and grounding read.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Circles and the Cross is an invitation to explore two mysteries. One is the mystery of why there is something and not nothing? The other is the mystery of why this collection of stardust is an ‘I’ and not just an ‘it.’ Our basic response to these mysteries is wonder, and from wonder have grown the three great trees of human religion, art, and science. This exploration is undertaken in the light of a third: the cross of Christ is the clearest picture we have of the triune Creator of both cosmos and consciousness. That self-emptying of the Creator out of love for the creation helps us understand the pleasures, paradoxes, and pains of science; it helps us understand how “evolution” can be another name for creation; it casts light on the Enlightenment and Romanticism. In particular, it illuminates the environmental ethic in search of a religion. Loren Wilkinson, drawing on fifty years of teaching and writing about our relationship to creation, invites you to join this journey into understanding how the cross of Christ sheds light on the mysteries that surround us—and gives us hope in a difficult age.
