Summary:
"Ilia Delio transcends the debate on evolution and intelligent design to reveal the Christ who is at the center of our lives in a complex universe. She draws on mystics and theologians to show the love of God at the heart of a total redemptive process, not just physical but spiritual, cosmic, and cultural, and taking place in human consciousness ... Delio offers a way of seeing the universe and our place in it with a vision that is at once faithful to science and infused with spiritual insights that are 'ancient and ever new'"--From publisher description.
