Synopsis

STATIONS OF THE COSMIC CHRIST:

Many people are familiar with the devotional practice within Christian churches of praying the “Stations of the Cross.” In this book Bishop Marc Andrus and spiritual theologian Matthew Fox challenge believers and non-believers alike to develop a new practice based on very ancient teachings and the new cosmology: The Stations of the Cosmic Christ.

In this time of wars and unprecedented challenge to the planet from human-induced climate change, how will humans integrate the teachings about the awesome universe in a way that empowers our joy and compassion?

Artists M. C. Richards and Javier Lemus join the authors in offering a Way and series of practices that moves the heart and awakens us to the Blessed Being who resides in us all and whether that eternal spark be called the “Cosmic Christ” or the “Buddha Nature” or the “Image of God.

About this title

From the Author:

In this creative work, the authors offer concrete entry points into a set of reflective spiritual practices for those called to move into an expansive understanding of the person of Jesus Christ today.  Through imaginative encounters that go beyond a traditional focus on Christ’s passion and death, and which honor the radical freedom offered by his life and teaching, the Stations in this book provide a rich space for meditation.  The beauty and strength of the art that focuses the practices presented here, the generous interfaith sensibilities of the authors, and the ways that they weave together the Scriptural accounts of Jesus, the great liturgical actions and feasts, and the concerns of contemporary people, make this book a precious gift to those seeking to cultivate a cosmic sense of the living presence of Christ.
