Reason And Wonder A Copernican Revolution In Science And Spirit [Paperback]

When Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler -- all deeply religious -- dislodged the earth from the center of the universe, science and religion separated. Darwin's theory of evolution brought outright divorce. But now, as Pruett writes, a third scientific revolution promises the reconciliation of reason and intuition by bringing a new dimension of spirituality to our scientific understanding of the?cosmos --?and to the unique place of humans in it.

Reason and Wonder embraces the insights of modern science and the wisdom of spiritual traditions to re-enchant the universe and?to provide a new myth of meaning appropriate to the current era. The new myth, which unfolds through?the stories?of three successive Copernican revolutions -- cosmological, biological, and spiritual --?offers both an expansive view of human potential and hope for a future currently?in grave jeopardy.
