This stimulating discussion with Rupert Sheldrake and Matthew Fox, two visionary pioneers of modern science and theology, will transform how you think about the most popular of all spiritual beings, angels. As they say, the study of the Christian mystics led Fox and Sheldrake to “the most startling part of our research” which was “to discover how Aquinas’ discussion on angels practically parallels today’s discussion upon physics…Angels are great beings,” not just, “bare bottomed cherubs that you want to pinch.” Fox and Sheldrake explore the new cosmology that the universe is a living, developing organism, and they raise the intriguing possibility that angels play a role in the actual governing of the universe itself.
