'Creating a profound, intelligent vision of angels for the next millennium. Fox and Sheldrake chart new territory in the relationship between religion and science.'
What are angels? Many people believe in angels, but few can define these enigmatic sprits. Now visionary theologian Matthew Fox and acclaimed biologist Rupert Sheldrake – pioneers in modern religious thinking and scientific theory launch a groundbreaking exploration into the ancient concept of the angel and restore dignity, meaning and joy to our time-honoured belief in these heavenly beings.
Their guides on this journey: voices of classical religious though – including the great Christian mystics and the Bible itself – and startling revelations of modern physics and cosmology. Their discovery: Angels are far greater and more powerful beings than we ever knew, and our belief in them can revolutionise our lives and have profound implications for the future.
Matthew Fox is an American Episcopal priest and theologian. Formerly a member of the Dominican Order within the Roman Catholic Church, he is now a member of the Episcopal Church. Fox was an early and influential exponent of a movement that came to be known as Creation Spirituality. He is the author of many books. Rupert Sheldrake, a biologist and author, is best known for his theory of morphic fields and morphic resonance, which leads to a vision of a living, developing universe with its own inherent memory. He worked in developmental biology at Cambridge University, where he was a Fellow of Clare College. He was then Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), in Hyderabad, India. From 2005 to 2010 he was Director of the Perrott-Warrick project, funded from Trinity College, Cambridge.
