Recenzii
The merit of the author consists in offering a readable book concerning such a difficult argument. He succeeds in presenting the fully rational dimension of hope in the contemporary age of science.
John F. Haught's latest book provides a brilliant theological analysis of what the Catholic faith means in an age of evolution. It is an intellectually adventurous, most inspiring work-a creative response to the Second Vatican Council's call for the much needed renewal of the Catholic Church. This illuminating account of what Haught calls 'the metaphysics of the future' unfolds before us the grandeur of cosmic and Christian hope. Deeply influenced by Teilhard de Chardin, Lonergan, Rahner, and other modern theologians and philosophers, Haught's thought challenges its readers in every fibre of their being to think afresh about the much misunderstood relationship between religion and evolution. It also addresses such topical issues as ecology, transhumanism, the value of human life, suffering and death, and the great biblical promise of the future. I cannot recommend this book too highly-it is a model of clarity, strength of argument, original thinking, and a most persuasive summons to re-examine our life and thought in the light of evolutionary becoming.
Professor Haught provides us with a readable, thoughtful synthesis. Not merely responding to the 'New Atheists,' as he has done so well, he offers a way forward for Catholics to think about how the faith relates to issues in science. He reminds us that it is 'good news' that the universe is unfinished.
