- W33559968 abstract "Cultural historian Thomas Berry has devoted his career to understanding how Western religion and culture have failed to sustain a nurturing relationship between humans and the Earth. In his major works -- Dream of the Earth, Universe Story, and Great Work -- he has traced the Western spiritual estrangement from the earth implicit in the growth of modern technological culture. Berry calls for a cosmology, expressed in a New Story or mythic consciousness that will reunite humans with the creative energy of the universe and overcome our destructive spiritual estrangement from the source of life. Berry’s work offers both a conceptual framework for understanding how this western cultural estrangement has come about and a means of overcoming it through his cosmology. Implicit in Berry’s work a reunification of science and religion through an Spirituality, an incarnational spirituality, an affirmation of the spiritual potential of matter, and a reflection of how we treat the material world.

The central pathology that has led to the termination of the Cenozoic, Berry observes, is the radical discontinuity between the human and the nonhuman (The Great Work 80). But now Western science has provided what amounts to a new revelation in its understanding of the origins of the universe, as well as an evolutionary understanding of human nature. A common ground for science and religion has become possible with the emergent view of the Berry calls for a spirituality grounded more deeply in the numinous dimension of an emergent universe. Spirituality of the Earth 3). Our spirituality itself earth-derived, he observes. If there no spirituality in the earth, then there no spirituality in ourselves Spirituality of the Earth 1). language of redemption-oriented spirituality has ceased to be effective in our contemporary world and may indeed widen the gap between human and environmental concerns. In building upon the insights of Teilhard de Chardin, Berry argues" @default.
