Spiritual Transformations: Science, Religion, and Human Becoming (Facets) (Facets)

In our contemporary evolutionary worldview, the universe is in a continuous creative transformation. What is true of the universe is also true of human life, says eminent theologian Karl Peters, as he explores the many forms of spiritual transformations - from predictable passages experienced with age, to the unexpected passages we are required to make, to religious conversion, to calamity and even death. All of our personal transformations, Peters claims, have a spiritual dimension and take place within a cosmic context.

Through story and analysis, Spiritual Transformations draws out how these experiences bring us into our sacred center, bring about wholeness, release us from self-preoccupation, and relate us in new ways to others, the earth, and the cosmos itself.
