"A profound book of great distinction and originality. . . . A brilliant synthesis of the evidence with respect to man's evolutionary direction. . . . I cannot imagine anyone reading this book who will not be profoundly influenced by it, and who will not wish to read it several times over, for it is a great work by a great man--one of the most spiritually erudite of our time." --New York Times Visionary theologian and evolutionary theorist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's analysis of human evolution Pierre Teilhard De Chardin was one of the most distinguished thinkers and scientists of our time. He applied his whole life, his tremendous intellect, and his great spiritual faith to building a philosophy that would reconcile Christian theology with the scientific theory of evolution, to relate the facts of religious experience to those of natural science. In this timeless book, which contains the quintessence of his thought, Teilhard argues that just as living organisms sprung from inorganic matter and evolved into ever more complex thinking beings, humans are evolving toward an "omega point"--defined by Teilhard as a convergence with the Divine.

Broad and deep
I should have known what I was getting into, but as this was my first time dipping into the river of de Chardin's wisdom I was unaware. Like a river, it is broad and deep, and the current runs quickly. Every page demanded a re-read and sometimes another re-read, and still I was frequently left just treading water. I intend to stay in the current until I understand what this genius is trying to teach me.
