He shows how the paschal paradox--the movement through death and resurrection--is at the heart of Gods creation and gives meaning to all life. Author Biography Priest, missioner, and social psychologist, Diarmuid OMurchu has worked with homeless people, refugees, and HIV/AIDS patients on three continents. His many books include Doing Theology in an Evolutionary Way, Evolutionary Faith, Ancestral Grace, Adult Faith, Incarnation, Inclusivity, and Religious Life in the 21st Century. He lives in Ireland and speaks throughout the world. Review "It feels strange to so strongly recommend this book because I feel like I am almost recommending myself, if that is not too narcissistic to say! Although Diarmuid is genuinely much more a scholar and scientist than I am, we have come to so many of the same conclusions about the Gospel, church, religious life, spirituality, and meaning itself. Read and be fed by my Irish brother."--Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, author, The Universal Christ, The Wisdom PatternDrink deeply, reader, from the well of wisdom that is Diarmuid OMurchu. In this volume you are gifted with an overview of the history of evolutionary spirituality, how to integrate it within a Christian framework with integrity, as well as a glimpse into the authors own evolving faith over the course of a life well-lived. The paschal mystery comes alive in the lived history of a man who has successfully struggled to mine the deep and abiding mystery of what is essential about life and about the Christian faith.--Bruce Sanguin, author, The Way of the Wind and Dismantled Diarmuid OMurchu has written a brave and honest book that opens our hearts and minds to the power of human reconciliation with Spirit and Earth and the necessary rebuilding of a sacred ethos for our time. Paschal Paradox: Reflections on an Evolutionary Life is a tribute to one mans search for truth and the profound inner changes he undergoes to be free of punitive or exclusive cultural and religious identities, and, ultimately, to embrace a different understanding of God--an evolutionary spirituality of an expansive, unfolding universe of cosmic wonder. What makes this book particularly compelling is OMurchus quotidian details of soul challenges imbedded in the Irish struggles, Catholic identity, and religious sectarianism.--Beverly Lanzetta, author, Radical Wisdom and The Monk Within; theologian and spiritual teacherThe authors humility in moving beyond the personal narrative in every period of his life to its transpersonal consequences makes this an autobiography worth taking seriously, as his account is linked to the challenge and inspiration of his faith in God, humanity, and the entire universe. Questions and challenges this autobiography provokes us to consider are not new, but they are dealt with, with a raw honesty that should inspire and challenge every potential reader. --Dr. Aruna Gnanadason, author, With Courage and Compassion: Women and the Ecumenical Movement Review Quote "It feels strange to so strongly recommend this book because I feel like I am almost recommending myself, if that is not too narcissistic to say!
