Divine Radiance in Human Evolution - Paperback

by Diarmuid O'Murchu (Author)

The popular author and speaker offers a new way to seek spiritual meaning in a world where inherited doctrines and dogmas are falling away.

What if our true human story began with original blessing rather than original sin? What if our true nature is one that thrives in healthy relationships with one another and all of creation?

Drawing on groundbreaking insights from paleontology and paleoanthropology, Diarmuid O'Murchu argues for a new understanding of the human story, one that shows that we are creative earthlings, beloved by the God who has made all things.

In opening up this new paradigm, Divine Radiance in Human Evolution challenges traditional Christian narratives about human nature and explores how our deep evolutionary past can teach us how to flourish in harmony with all of creation. In his welcoming style, O'Murchu calls readers to live in joy and creativity as part of the long history of humanity's relationship with the creative Spirit of God.
