Foundations of Christian Formation

Years from now this Summa will be seen as a pivotal volume in the emergence of a fresh and profound convergence of theology and biology. Adrian van Kaam and Susan Muto have steadfastly illuminated the formative perspective for over a quarter of a century. Current scientific discoveries are revealing to us that the workings of God's universe pose a formative mystery that conforms to van Kaam's empirical formation science. The Christian faith tradition owes these co-authors profound gratitude for posing our theological formation tradition in a light consonant with new scientific discoveries in biology and complexity.
