Exploring the profound role of love in a reason-dominated age, this book delves into its cosmological and theological dimensions, presenting love as the ultimate force drawing humanity to the divine. Structured around a metaphysics of love, it articulates the belief that we are created from divine love, live within it, and are ultimately directed towards it, offering a comprehensive reflection on love's significance in our existence.
Ilia Delio introduces a new word, catholicity, which is destined to become as discussed and familiar in this century as the word Catholic was in the 2nd century. A new paradigm for being catholicity, a conscious awareness of how everything - the sun, moon, starts, Kepler, Saturn, maple trees, muddy rivers, amoeba, bacteria and all people of the earth - for a whole. Catholicity is a dynamic, spiritual quality of being Catholic that literally means ""becoming whole."" It is an inner principle which first burst forth in the life of Jesus and has the power to reconnect all the dimensions of spirituality, religion, the new sciences, culture, and society. Catholicity is not an apologetics but an emerging unitive spirituality that is being expressed by Pope Francis and is manifested in the lives of sincere seekers everywhere. It is animating religion in a new direction and infusing key aspects of spirituality with the new sciences, and every aspect of society and culture. Catholicity is a spirit of love, a love of the Spirit, which resists ideology and attracts new followers. ""Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom"" (2 Cor 3:17). Catholicity makes all things new. ""If any be in Christ he is a new creature. The old way of living disappears. A new Way of living comes into existence"" (2 Cor 5:17)
Thirteen scholars--including John F. Haught, Ursula King, and John C. Haughey, SJ--take off from where Teilhard de Chardin left off, opening new windows to the divine mystery, to the evolving person, and to the new energies of love needed for the forward movement of life.

Explores the role of evolutionary theory in understanding God.
Jesuit scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, a keen observer of nature, posited two types of energy in the universe: tangential energy/energy of attraction, and radial energy/energy of transcendence -- in other words, love and consciousness, which correspond to the inner and outer dimensions of nature, respectively. Moreover, as theologian Ilia Delio points out, nature is never at rest ; indeed, 'nature [is] on a continuous trajectory of transcendence.' 'The Big Bang universe is a story of space but it is also a story of consciousness and love.' How are the inner universe and the other universe related? 'Is the inner universe the key to nature's transcendence?' she asks. 'Is science disclosing a new role for consciousness and thus a new role for spiritual transformation?' The author builds not only on the thought of Teilhard and others but also on the findings of quantum physics to deliver a thought-provoking, deeply insightful reflection on the relationship of God, humanity, and nature in an ever-evolving cosmos.
This title explores the meaning of Christian theology in light of the scientific discoveries of our age. Like Teilhard de Chardin and Thomas Berry, Delio opens out eyes to the omni-active, all-powerful, all-intelligent Love that forms and guides the interrelatedness and interbeing of everything and everyone - ourselves included.
