Evolving Humanity And Biblical Wisdom

As humans, we long to surpass our own limitations. In Evolving Humanity and Biblical Wisdom, Marie Sabin equates this longing to our desire for wisdom, calling it “sharing in divinity.” Taking us through both the Old Testament and New Testament in pursuit of this wisdom, reflecting also on the writings and perspective of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Sabin explores the questions of where to find Wisdom, what it might look like, and then connects the Wisdom of the Spirit to the Wisdom of the Earth.

Reading the Scriptures through Teilhard’s lens poses a new way of seeing the relationship between “the spirit” and “the world”: no longer does sharing in divinity require withdrawal from the world; instead, it involves wholehearted engagement. Scholars and seekers alike will find something enriching in Sabin’s words.
