Description
A classic work by the great Jesuit theologian and anthropologist whose writings were not allowed to be published until after his death.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was more famous after his death in 1955 than during his life when he worked as a geologist in France and in China where he was one of the discoverers of “Peking Man.”
The Divine Milieu is an essential companion to Teilhard de Chardin’s The Phenomenon of Man and expands on the spiritual message so basic to his thought. He shows how man's spiritual life can become a participation in the destiny of the universe.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin—geologist, Jesuit priest, and major voice in 20th-century Christianity—probes the ultimate meaning of all scientific exploration, as well as the fruit of his own inner life. The essential companion to The Phenomenon of Man, this book expands on the spiritual message so central to Teilhard de Chardin’s way of thinking. He shows how man, through his spiritual life, can become a participant in the destiny of the universe. The Divine Milieu is an inspiring classic and a spiritual treasure for the modern age.
“Not a single thought in these pages is the result of computation; everything that is expressed is the fruit of the writer’s inner life. In fact, this extraordinary book can be read on different levels. There is here, as in all the writings of Father Teilhard, the expression of a scientist who takes delight in the discursive method and the ultimate meaning of all physical exploration.”—Karl SternYou may also like
