New theologies work at reconciling science and religion. In a cosmos that is dynamically evolving from the singular fireball of energy that we call the Big Bang, we are cocreating our future with G*d. In Einstein’s world after e = mc² everywhere is a center of interrelationships; the world is no longer fixed and static. Quantum physics invites quantum prayer and play like the molecules, protons, electrons in constant unpredictable motion, the generative soup out of which life emerges, tending toward greater diversity and complexity, evolving toward consciousness and communion.

We who question and seek can only describe the Holy Mystery in which we live from our experience. We stand in awe. We write poems and sing songs that celebrate being alive. We lament our capacity for destruction. We mine the scriptures and sacred texts of the world for hints and half guesses. In this course we seek Holy Mystery with current theologians, scientists, and each other.
