Teilhard de Chardin on Love: Evolving Human Relationships

by Louis M. Savary, Patricia H. Berne, Ilia Delio (Foreword by)

Overview

Lou Savary and Patricia Byrne have provided a valuable contribution in this book by clearly explaining Teilhard’s doctrine of love on every level of life, from God to friendship, marriage, parenting, and human community. Their book is less a scholarly exposition on a Teilhardian doctrine of love than a masterful illumination of love as the core energy of evolving life.

Each chapter clearly explains Teilhard’s insights and then provides practical ways of incorporating these ideas into daily life.
