Description
Christianity in Evolution: An Exploration by Jack Mahoney The concept of evolution has profoundly impacted our understanding of reality, with far-reaching implications for Christianity. In an evolutionary perspective, Jesus' incarnation is seen as God entering the human species to help it emulate the trinitarian altruism that created humanity and counter its tendency towards self-absorption. Traditional Christian doctrines such as original sin, the fall, sacrifice, and atonement are reevaluated in light of this new understanding. The death of Jesus on the cross is now viewed as a pivotal moment in human history, ushering in the final stage of humanity's evolutionary destiny - the full sharing of God's inner life. This book delves into the evolutionary implications for various aspects of Christian belief, including the Church, the Eucharist, priesthood, and moral behavior.
