Pack containing 4 books from the My Theology series:


An Evolving God, An Evolving Purpose, An Evolving World - Joan Chittister


The God that we were brought up on is not big enough to be God. To be both religious and spiritual, modernity must be able to absorb the notion of a cosmic and evolving God. This notion redefines the place and purpose of humanity itself. The old notions of who is in charge, who is superior and whose theology is paramount is in a state of flux. Unless, or until, this new vision comes into play, directs our hearts, guides our business, underlies our technology, the world itself is not ready to understand or survive the horizon of Newness on which it stands.


Primacy of Love - Ilia Delio


‘What do we live for? This is the question many of us ask at the end of a very long day, especially in the conflicted moments of life,’ writes Ilia Delio. ‘My answer is simple: we live to love. If we doubt love, we doubt our own existence.’


In this compelling book, Delio explores the metaphysics of love at the centre of her theological thinking. From the cosmological to the theological dimensions of existence, she shows love to be the irresistible force of attraction that leads straight into the heart of God.


Corner of Fourth and Nondual - Cynthia Bourgeault


In The Corner of Fourth and Nondual, a title inspired by Thomas Merton’s moment of revelation ‘at the Corner of Fourth and Walnut’, Cynthia Bourgeault describes the foundations of her theology: a cosmological seeing with the eye of the heart, and classic Benedictine daily rule informed and enlightened by wisdom from the Asian traditions.


She explains the influence of the author of The Cloud of Unknowing, Teilhard de Chardin, Boehme, Barnhart, Keating and Gurdjieff, among others, in a philosophy built on the cornerstones of the Incarnation and the Paschal Mystery, tied by the Trinity as a cosmogonic principle, the fundamental generative mechanism through which all things came into being.


Spectres of God - Rachel Mann


‘In one’s encounters with the spectres of God one can become at peace with limitation, precariousness, lack of certainty, and one’s fragility and fractures,’ writes Rachel Mann. ‘Equally, one can find in divine fragility the hope of the world.’


In three chapters – on the body, on love, and on time – Mann explores how God invites us to live in a rich three-dimensional mystery which subverts the mundane experiences of modern life and reveals a world rich with purpose at every point


To be human, she explains, holds together the truths that we are made in blessing, live in complexity, and called into promise.
