The Way of the Wind: The Path and Practice of Evolutionary Christian Mysticism

by Bruce G Sanguin

This book explores the Christian faith from the perspective of evolutionary spirituality. It looks at the life and teaching of Jesus through this lens. The author asserts that evolution is the fundamental dynamic of our universe, transcending biology, to include cultural and consciousness. Jesus himself was tapped into a sacred evolutionary current to transcend, yet include, his own religious lineage. This urge for self and cultural transcendence therefore is an essential element of the Christian there is no final iteration of the Christian faith. Everything, including the Christian faith, is in the process of transcending itself. When we realize the mystical awareness that we are the presence of a sacred evolutionary process awakening to itself, we catalyze the power of what traditionally has been called the Holy Spirit.

Connects science with religion to provide a modern take on a dual creation theory and the role of religion in our lives. The act of love as letting be!

I can't assign any stars as I didn't finish it. I bought it for our church's book club but I'm only on page 33 and the discussion is tomorrow after church. :/ It's an interesting read but Sanquin is a thinker on a level completely different than me and I am finding myself needing to read many paragraphs twice to really absorb the message. I'm going to attend the chat anyway as I'm interested in hearing what others thought of it ... Hoping that at some point I'll pick it up again.
