Hardcover. 120 p.; # illus.; 23 cm. `The analogies between Origen and Teilhard are, indeed, of several kinds. The first to leap to the attention is that Origen has been a battlefield just like Teilhard. There has been a `Teilhardist Controversy' just as there was the `Origenist Controversy. And yet Origen,who was discussed and contested, and even condemned by Councils three centuries after his death, has remained one of the glories of Christian thought. His errors have not prevented us doing him justice and from continuing to hold him in tender regard. We believe the same will be true of Teilhard.In spite of his gaps, his inadequacies,even his errors,he will still be dear toour hearts because of his fine spiritual ambitions, his vast syntheses,his original ideas, and above all--for this above all will survive--his cosmic sense. He will have helped finally to lay the ghost of evolutionism,to get us accustomed to it, to see it in a new, fairer and more reassuring light. He will have laboured to enlarge our devotion, our prayer,our spiritual vision,so as to make them not merely planetary but galactic and inter-galactic--that is, genuinely universal.Finally,the last analogy between Origen and him,though an analogy which we state without being able to applaud it: there was with Teilhard an imperturbable eschatological optimism which is closely allied to the `final apotheosis'that one finds in Origen,which he substituted forthe traditional apocalypses, the `restoration of all things in God',and in which the demons and Satan himself were finally brought to the centre of light and happiness --to God. An error of this type has a certain grandeur.' (p. 114 f.) VG orig. black boards in edgeworn green dj.…
