Religion & Ethics for a New Age: Evolutionist Approach

Book info: Religion & Ethics for a New Age: Evolutionist Approach (Paperback, 694 pages) – UPA, 2001. Language: English.

In Religion & Ethics for a New Age, the problems of traditional Christian dogmas of evil, death, the fall, violence, sexuality, patriarchal theological language and symbols are discussed within a global evolutionary context, as well as that of the existential reality of cultural, moral and religious pluralism. Agape as the central commandment of Christ is adopted as the new universal grounding for true global Christian ethics, sound religion, humane, moral and cultural values. God's supernatural activities of creation and redemption are presented as coextensive with evolutionary history and life in the world as God's unfolding kingdom.
