Spirited Bodies Beneath the Stars: Science and Spirituality Together

Spirited Bodies Beneath the Stars rises above the specializations of today's academic fields by blending history, science, literature, and religion. It also expands beyond modern Western religion's tendency to confine itself to primarily the human sphere. All of the chapters of this book are aimed at widening our awareness to include the non-human realm of Nature, while at the same time integrating material from both science and religion. This book takes readers into the human encounter with life, land, water, sky, and the mystery of time. This book also contains a Chronology for Holistic Thinking-stretching from the universe's Big Bang, to the 10th-century astronomer who became a pope, to the global pandemic in 2020. Thoroughly researched and documented, yet highly readable, Spirited Bodies Beneath the Stars will provide enlightenment to non-scientists and scientists, to the non-religious and religious alike.
