New Cosmic Story: Inside Our Awakening Universe

A prominent thinker on science and religion argues that understanding cosmic history requires attention to the emergence of interiority, including religious aspiration. Scientific advances over the past two centuries have shown that the universe is still unfolding. In this book, author John F. Haught considers the implications of this discovery. He contends that many other books on life and the universe have overlooked the crucial aspect of cosmic history: the drama of life’s awakening to interiority and religious awareness.

Haught addresses two primary questions: what does the arrival of religion tell us about the universe, and what does our understanding of the cosmos as an unfinished drama tell us about religion? He asserts that the history of religion may be ambiguous and sometimes barbarous, but its role in the story of cosmic emergence and awakening must be considered.
