In 'What I Believe', Pierre Teilhard de Chardin invites reflection on the integration of the modern world with the Christian faith. The author encourages us to embrace the expanding universe that reason reveals, rather than clinging to outdated theological conceptions. Teilhard de Chardin seeks a figure of Christ who can fill this constantly evolving universe, a universal and ever-present Christ. This book is an invitation to recognize the old and the true in the universal presence of Christ, adapting our understanding of faith in the light of current knowledge.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J. was a French Jesuit priest, scientist, paleontologist, philosopher, mystic, and teacher. Teilhard de Chardin investigated the theory of evolution from a perspective influenced by Henri Bergson and Christian mysticism, writing multiple scientific and religious works on the subject. His mainstream scientific achievements include his paleontological research in China, taking part in the discovery of the significant Peking Man fossils from the Zhoukoudian cave complex near Beijing. His more speculative ideas, sometimes criticized as pseudoscientific, have included a vitalist conception of the Omega Point. Along with Vladimir Vernadsky, he contributed to the development of the concept of the noosphere.
