Biblical Faith

More about the book

Through the lens of evolutionary theory, Gerd Theissen explores the depths of the biblical tradition, drawing inspiration from thinkers like Karl Rahner and Teilhard de Chardin. He examines the "cultural evolution" of Christianity, suggesting that this analysis reveals insights into the ultimate goal of history: achieving complete adaptation to the reality of God. Theissen's approach avoids simplistic notions of progress, offering a nuanced perspective on the interplay between faith and evolution.
