Beschreibung

This book, "Teilhard de Chardin : Pilgrim of the Future", is an anthology of appreciative essays, both critical and creative, edited by Neville Braybrooke. The book was published by The Seabury Press in New York, in 1964. It is the First Edition. From the jacket insert : Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the noted Jesuit paleontologist, who participated in the discovery of Pekin man, spent his life digging up the past so that we might know about the future. Yet when he died in 1955 not a word about his writings appeared in his obituaries in major newspapers. This was hardly surprising, for so in advance of their time were his writings that his religious superiors had forbidden him to publish them. The present collection opens with two essays by Teilhard himself, then follow biographical sketches and scholarly essays totaling, with Teilhard's two, 14 collected pieces." ****************************************** CONTENTS : Christ In Matter . by Teilhard De Chardin / The Meaning And Constructive Value of Suffering .
