The readings in this book, however, suggest that the ancient Abrahamic hope for the coming of God from out of the future may now become the foundation of a scientifically up-to-date theology of nature that affirms divine transcendence without robbing nature of its significance.
Christian instruction, for example, continues to nurture an otherworldly piety that estranges nature unnecessarily from God.
Unfortunately, the devotional life of most religious people on our planet still presupposes an essentially immobile universe.
This means that the most important question in science and theology today is not whether the intricate complexity of life points to a deity, or even how God acts in nature, but whether the cosmic drama as a whole carries a meaning.
John Haught argues that the universe is best understood according to the metaphor of drama rather than design.
The writings offered in this book reflect their author\'s belief that if the universe is unfinished, new thoughts about God and all the traditional theological topics are essential to make sense of it all.
Today, however, especially because of developments in the sciences, it appears that the universe is still coming into being.
The otherworldly spiritual instincts of many religions reflected a static, vertical, and hierarchical understanding of the natural world.
