Toward a Cosmic Theology

Toward a Cosmic Theology considers topics and areas from Christian revelation as they draw on forces and worlds, insights and developments, now unfolded by science. It explores such topics as: the vastness of the universe of nature; implications for what God might be like; relationships of the Trinity to being and evolution; divine presence and the world of the universe and of the subatomic realm; extraterrestrials; time, the future, and change and transformation; the personal and religious world as a society of planets and their cultures.

The author draws on the theologies of earlier theologians like Origen, Thomas Aquinas, and more recent ones such as Yves Congar, Karl Rahner, Douglas Vakoch, John Haught, and Jacques Arnould.
