Produktbeschreibung
What can we learn by combining the wisdom of two major theological pioneers of the 20th century? The God of the Growing Edge: Whitehead and Thurman on Theology, Spirituality, and Social Change explores the intersecting spiritual visions of two such towering figures: Alfred North Whitehead, the eminent philosopher and process theologian, and Howard Thurman, the influential African American mystic, theologian, and civil rights leader. This book offers a timely resource for contemplative activists seeking a deeper integration of spirituality and social transformation in our turbulent times. The God of the Growing Edge examines these intersecting visions, highlighting their complementary strengths. Whitehead's metaphysics provides a robust intellectual framework for understanding a universe of interconnectedness, change, and possibility, while Thurman's lived experience of oppression and spiritual resistance infuses this framework with prophetic urgency and practical wisdom. Together, they offer a powerful and timely message for today's world. This book is a personal and spiritual exploration. Drawing on the author's own experiences The God of the Growing Edge invites readers to embark on a "holy adventure" guided by the wisdom of Whitehead and Thurman. It offers practical spiritual practices at the end of each chapter, along with powerful prayers by Thurman. By exploring the "growing edge" of faith, this book offers a compelling path toward a more just, compassionate, and sustainable future.
