Teilhard Seminar

Wednesday 6 November 2019

9am at Ushaw College

Prof. Ilia Delio OSF (Villanova University)

Living Creation Theology

in the Context of

Contemporary Science:

The Distinctive Contribution

of the Franciscan

Theological Tradition

Bonaventure and Scotus constructed a latticework of

ideas that grew out of the theological experience of

Francis of Assisi.

In light of how science describes nature today in terms of

deep relationality, cosmic holism and evolution,

Franciscan theology has never been more relevant.

In particular, Prof. Delio will discuss key insights of

Scotus that pave the way for Process theology,

especially the the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, whose theogenic vision enkindles the primacy of Christ in

the 21st century.
