“This excellent and well-written book seeks to provide a coherent understanding of evolutionary theology, what the term "evolutionary theology" means, and how such a theology can refocus questions of original sin, evil, and theodicy. Building on the groundbreaking ideas of Teilhard de Chardin and Alfred North Whitehead, among other contemporary theologians, Michael Abril offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the intersection of evolution and theology, laying out various viewpoints and ideas in a simple and concise manner. This book is a welcome addition to the ongoing question of faith and science and will be invaluable for classroom education and adult faith formation.”

“William Stolzman’s book is original on many levels. Beginning with an understanding of God as absolute potential energy, the author lays out an understanding of the God-world relationship that is consonant with modern physics. . . . This is a fascinating book for those interested in a new understanding of God and evolution in an unfinished universe.”
Jesus Loves You and Evolution Is True
Science & Faith
“This is a wonderful book because we live in an age where science and religion are still seen to be in conflict, as if science and religion actually oppose each other. Nothing could be further from the truth. The authors, a biologist and a theologian, have thought through carefully, and in conversation with each other, some of the key stumbling blocks science presents to religion, and show how clear scientific explanation actually can enhance and deepen our understanding of God's work in creation. This book is helpful in a wide variety of educational forums, from high school into adult life, because it deepens our understanding of theology and science as two different ways of making sense of the one world. Only when science and religion are in conversation with each other can we truly appreciate the wondrous beauty of God's good creation.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“Finding God in a complex world can be overwhelming at times. In this beautifully written book, L. J. Milone illuminates the wisdom of the Dominican mystic Meister Eckhart, whose brilliant insights transform our operative assumptions about God into a mystery of divine presence entangled in our everyday lives. This book is an excellent introduction to Eckhart’s notion of God’s deep presence, assuring us that wherever we are or whatever we are doing, we are not alone.”
Theology
“This is an important book and a long overdue one. Dan Horan has boldly confronted the misreading of Duns Scotus by adherents of Radical Orthodoxy and brilliantly illuminates their metaphysical flaws. At the same time, he shows a correct understanding of univocal being and discusses why Scotus’s metaphysics provides a coherent basis for a postmodern theology. This book can help bridge the relationship between science and religion by providing a correct reading of univocal being, and it can open up new paths of dialogue that have become stifled by theological and philosophical differences.”

“Noreen Herzfeld has written an important book that impels us to consider why we pursue humanoid robots and artificial intelligence. Her discussion takes us through various levels of computer development and human personhood, but most important, she draws an intimate connection between a religious understanding of the human person and AI. This is a thoughtful book that asks us to consider the sacredness of the human person in a culture addicted to technology. What are we becoming with AI? More so, who determines our future? This is a book to be read for its wealth of scholarship but also as a meditative reflection, for it asks us to pause and consider what we are as humans and what we desire for our future.”
“William Van Ornum has crafted a unique meditation on our technological moment, drawing unexpected parallels between ancient monastic wisdom and the digital realm we increasingly inhabit. By reimagining AI through the lens of contemplative tradition—complete with rules, silence, and pilgrimage—he offers both technologists and spiritual seekers a fresh vocabulary for understanding our relationship with artificial intelligence. This brilliantly creative book invites us to consider whether the disciplines that have sustained human flourishing for centuries might also illuminate our path forward in the age of algorithms. A timely and unique contribution to the conversation about technology’s place in human life.”
