Synopsis
What is the cosmos, our place in it and its relation to God? These questions form the framework of Fr. Bouyer's investigation through the history of ideas and the unfolding of humanity's attempts to make sense of the universe.
Synopsis
Louis Bouyer, one of the 20th century giants of Catholic theology, here addresses a breathtaking range of questions related to the world: the history of origin studies, from cosmogonic myth to philosophical cosmologies, from magic to mysticism. Science, myth, philosophy, theology, poetic experience and technology here constantly rub elbows. Through it all he explores the insightfulness of Christian revelation penetrating the mystery, as a reflection of the mystery of that other cosmos it reflects; the inner being of God, the creator. Louis Bouyer is a priest, theologian, teacher and writer.
