Contents:
Language and reality -- The "inside" and the "outside" of everything -- Panentheism: hierarchically ordered systems of existence and activity -- Other approaches to panentheism in the current religion-and-science debate -- "Incarnation" as key to the argument for panentheism -- A systems-oriented approach to the Trinity -- Tradition and traditioning: church as both system and institutional entity? -- Miracles and the problem of evil -- Resurrection and eternal life.
Summary: "Utilizes the language and conceptual structures of systems theory as a philosophical and scientific grammar to show traditional Christian beliefs in a new light that is accessible and rationally plausible to a contemporary, scientifically influenced society. This account opens new possibilities for rethinking the God-world relationship, the Trinity, incarnation, creation, and eschatology within the context of a broader ecological and cosmological system. In re-describing these articles constitutive of Christian belief, the author is conscious of the vital importance of retaining the inherent power and meaning of these concepts"--Provided by publishers.
