Using insights from evolutionary biology, process theology, and the range of world religions, he proposes that evolution can provide a key to becoming religious. Dancing with the Sacred weaves together three themes: How the Sacred can be understood as the creative activity of nature, human history, and individual life, Peters fashions new insights into morality, ecology, and religion. He describes a model of God based on the Darwinian idea of random variation and natural selection. He suggests that God is a process that includes the emergence of new possibilities in nature, human history, and personal living. God is like a dance, he says, and by participating in this creative process we are dancing with the Sacred. |

| Publisher Description: "Karl Peters, culminating a lifetime of leadership in the science and religion dialogue, offers a rare combination of both theory and practice, the learned and the existential. Here is an exemplary role model of participating in the creative process -- what Peters metaphorically calls 'dancing with the sacred.'" -- Holmes Rolston, University Distinguished Professor, Colorado State University |
