Thus, our religious myths are struggling to find new connections in a global, ecological order. Delio proposes the new myth of relational holism; that is, the search for a new connection to divinity in an age of quantum physics, evolution, and pluralism. The idea of relational holism is one that is rooted in the God-world relationship, beginning with the Book of Genesis, but finds its real meaning in quantum physics and the renewed relationship between mind and matter. Our story, therefore, will traverse across the fields of science, scripture, theology, history, culture and psychology. Our guides for a new myth of relational holism are the psychoanalyst Carl Jung, and the Jesuit scientist-theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. The complex human can no longer be simplified to one view or another: one must see the whole of our existence or one does not see at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIlia Delio, OSF,\u003c\/strong\u003e a Franciscan Sister of Washington, DC, is Josephine C.

Although contemporaries for a time, both men were unable to benefit from each other’s vast cosmological visions, and they continue to be studied largely independent of each other’s contributions. What results when Whitehead and Teilhard meet? What do they each offer the other such that a mutual deepening might take place? What is their shared relevance to contemporary concerns across philosophy, science, religion, and ecology?

How, if at all, can a Christian believer relate faith in a God of creative love to a world so laden with pain and suffering? Sister Ilia has taken on these monumental issues and has opened insights that can be helpful to many who take their Christian faith seriously.

The second part explores at length the origin and nature of these relational ruptures in terms of seven ecological sins. Kureethadam presents ecological sin as the rupture of our fundamental and constitutive relationships with God, with our brothers and sisters, and with Mother Earth. The third part of the book explores how the rupture of basic relationships caused by ecological sin can be repaired through a transformative journey of healing by following the path of ecological conversion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003eJoshtrom Kureethadam \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003eis full professor (Chair of Philosophy of Science) and director of the Institute of Social and Political Sciences in the Faculty of Philosophy at the Salesian Pontifical University in Rome.\u003cspan style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKureethadam served as the Coordinator of the Sector of “Ecology \u0026amp; Creation” at the Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development from 2017-2023 and continues to assist the efforts of the global Church in responding to Pope Francis’ passionate appeal to care for our common home.

But as the early Church confronted heresy, it reached for the stabilizing frameworks of Neoplatonic thought, gradually trading that living insight for philosophical abstraction. This move was eventually codified in Thomist metaphysics, where it became the dominant tradition. Yet another current ran beneath the surface. Through Francis of Assisi, Duns Scotus, and Bonaventure, a creation-centered, incarnational faith survived — one that kept God close to the world rather than remote from it. Delio argues the Church has remained too long in the grip of its older metaphysical inheritance, and that renewal is overdue. That renewal, she suggests, is already underway. Whitehead's process theology breathes new life into this alternative tradition, and Teilhard de Chardin draws it into dialogue with Catholic thought.
