Reviews

"Reading this work reminds us that the 'secular' realm is usually constructed by religious people in an attempt to gain exemption from the task of attentive seeking." -- David Grumett, Times Literary Supplement, May 28, 2004.
"Reflections of the spiritualisation of matter move beyond gravity to remind us of physical exuberance and the joy of growth...There is a beautiful limpidity about the translation...A great contribution to Teilhard Literature." -- The Scientific and Medical Network Review.
"The volume includes a scholarly and most helpful Foreword by Jesuit scholar Thomas M. King, who outlines the life of Teilhard de Chardin and helps the reader to understand the context in which The Divine Milieu was written. He writes of a Jesuit Priest whose work did not sit easily with the Roman Catholic hierarchy of the early twentieth century. He portrays a man in some spiritual turmoil, living through events of great magnitude, who is seeking to make sense of all that is around him and of his own reaction to those events. The Divine Milieu was not written for those who were comfortable in their Catholic faith, but for the doubters and waverers - those for whom classical expressions of religious faith had long lost their meaning. I commend this volume." -- Rev. Adrian Burdon, Reviews in Religion and Theology.
