A landmark effort in the work of evolutionary theology, From Teilhard to Omega will be of interest to scholars, students, and seekers alike.
“Ilia Delio has challenged a team of Teilhard experts by asking them, in their fields, to envision how unfinished humanity’s convergent journey toward Omega has progressed in complexity and consciousness since Teilhard’s day. It’s a hope-filled book, exploring Teilhard’s realm of the ‘not yet,’ spilling over with fascinating and prophetic thoughts and images on things to come.” —Louis Savary, Ph.D., S.T.D., author, The New Spiritual Exercises
“A useful and much overdue contribution! These wonderfully diverse and helpful essays will open up many new access routes to a Christian mystic whose time has definitely arrived.” —The Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault, Ph.D., author, The Wisdom Jesus and The Holdy Trinity and the Law of Three
