The visionary of a cosmic worldview. Many people long to unite their faith with the insights of science. They seek an answer to the pressing and recurring question of how natural science and faith, evolution and creation can be thought together. Is there a spiritual principle behind the processes of nature? This question runs through the two most important works of Teilhard de Chardin, which are united in this book. Matter and spirit, the secular and the divine, are not opposites. Rather, the universe is designed with a spiritual purpose in mind. Teilhard's works are a must-read for anyone questioning the divine purpose of the world. The most important texts of Teilhard de Chardin in one volume. "The Christian in Evolution" available for the first time in German translation. A theologian for today.
