Abstract | From the perspective human beings informed by the study of cosmology, there are three stages in the process of becoming: the beginning of the universe with the big bang, the origin of life on the planet, and the emergence of consciousness and rationality in homo sapiens. The volume begins with four papers by John Haught of Georgetown University, Washington, DC, looking at 'nature', 'cosmic purpose and science', 'Darwin and divine providence', and 'theology, ecology and cosmology'. From there the book is divided into three sections: Cosmology, Life and on Human Life. In this book there is an interwoveness, a constant interaction between Christian theology and Chinese religious belief on all three areas: looking at the origins and nature of life, and also human life once again from Christian and Chinese religious thought. Thus, key Christian theological thinkers such as Aquinas and Longeran are examined alongside Taoist and Buddhist figures. |
