"Teilhard believes, like Bergson, that true religion is dynamic and not static, and that mysticism provides its essential impulse ... Readers of theology and devotional writing will identify [in "The Divine Milieu"] several sustaining harmonies, such as the action-passion distinction fundamental to Thomist cosmology, according to which human life is seen as both active and passive: sometimes we enjoy autonomy, but at other moments we are shaped by forces beyond our control ... Teilhard challenges standard definitions of faith as practice or as direct interior illumination of the soul by God. His concern is, rather to teach his readers how to see. Faith demands awareness of the perceptual world as a subject which 'enters vitally into the most spiritual zones of our souls'. Illumination of the soul is thus a product of the illumination of the world. True vision becomes, in turn, a gift which enables us to pay attention to the world, thereby enhancing its radiance." --"TLS "
"Reflections of the spiritualisation of matter move beyond gravity to remind us of physical exuberance and the joy of growth ... There is a beautiful limpidity about the translation ... A great contribution to Teilhard Literature." --"The Scientific and Medical Network Review "

"The volume includes a scholarly and most helpful Foreword by Jesuit scholar Thomas M. King, who outlines the life of Teilhard de Chardin and helps the reader to understand the context in which "The Divine Milieu" was written. He writes of a Jesuit Priest whose work did not sit easily with the Roman Catholic hierarchy of the early twentieth century. He portrays a man in some spiritual turmoil, living through events of great magnitude, who is seeking to make sense of all that is around him and of his own reaction to those events. "The Divine Milieu" was not written for those who were comfortable in their Catholic faith, but for the doubters and waverers those for whom classical expressions of religious faith had long lost their meaning. I commend this volume. Rev. Adrian Burdon, "Religion and Theology""
