Christopher Pramuk, PhD - "Where Hope Rises: Wisdom-Sophia in the Writings of Thomas Merton" Part 1

April 13, 2014 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm The Institute for Religion and Science presents ChristopherPramuk, PhD (Associate Professor of Theology, Xavier University, Cincinnati, OH) In a world riven by polarization, war, and planetary crisis, the Wisdom-Sophia tradition interjects a quiet word of unity and hope, of revelatory wonder and beauty, beckoning us to the work of healing, cross-cultural encounter and reconciliation. In a world replete with unspeakable violence against women and children, remembering and celebrating the feminine face of God, the divine presence alive in the world, becomes ever more urgent for Christianity and the world’s great religious traditions. In this day of reflection Dr. Pramuk explores with us the remembrance of Wisdom-Sophia in the life and writings of Thomas Merton and others. Based on Dr. Pramuk’s book: Sophia: The Hidden Christ of Merton. “This [Sophia: The Hidden Christ of Thomas Merton] is an extraordinary book. I found it to be as intellectually exciting as it was spiritually nourishing. . . . Pramuk not only offers new insights into Merton; he also calls us to reaffirm the vital links between spirituality and theology, between imagination and intellect, between clarity and poetry.” ~ Paul Knitter, Theological Studies http://irands.org/event/where-hope-ri...
