Seventeen influential scholars who believe deeply in humanity’s divine purpose share powerful essays which serve to unleash the collective, spiritual consciousness of the West, exploring its belief in human life as a blessing.

Matthew brought together these influential scholars who believe deeply in humanity’s divine purpose in this classic handbook of creation-centered theology.  Their powerful essays  serve to unleash the collective, spiritual consciousness of the West, exploring its belief in human life as a blessing, rather than a sinful fall from grace. The breadth of covered topics extends from the Bible, prayer, music, women’s history, and political consciousness, to Native American tradition, Hasidism, Russian spirituality, yoga, American transcendentalism, and ecumenical mysticism.
