Items related to Christ and Evolution: Wonder and Wisdom
The figure of Christ is at the heart of Christian faith and self-understanding, whether conservative or liberal. In this volume, widely acclaimed theologian Celia Deane- Drummond sets out to develop an understanding of Christ that is far more conscious of the evolutionary history of humanity and current evolutionary theories about the natural world. It argues that the concepts of wisdom and wonder have special roles in both theology and science and can point to an integrated, inclusive spirituality and a fuller vision of life and the universe.

Review:
Evolution is not just an epic of gradually unfolding potentials but a drama filled with tensions and tragedy, contingency and form. Celia Deane-Drummond brings together updated views on evolutionary theory with classic themes of Christology from Wisdom Christology to cross and resurrection. While fully respecting the integrity of biology, Deane-Drummond presents the drama of evolution as a theo-drama from beginning to end. I admire both the courage and the cogency of this work. --Niels Henrik Gregersen, Copenhagen University
Christ and Evolution offers both a bold and subtle exploration, a true adventure of ideas. Biologist and theologian Celia Deane-Drummond draws from an abundance of scientific and theological resources to reconstruct the history of science and the history of ideas associated with evolution and key issues in twentieth-century Christology. --Michael Welker, University of Heidelberg
Celia Deane-Drummond's latest book attempts not merely to rehearse the arguments for the compossibility of theological and Darwinian explanation. Instead by using evolutionary insights, she seeks to develop a richer dialogue that extends to key issues in Christian doctrine. In dealing with incarnation, atonement, resurrection and Christian hope from this perspective, she offers a significant and stimulating exploration of traditional themes. --David Fergusson (Professor of Divinity, University of Edinburgh)
