Such persons are often disparaged, dismissed, or declared incompetent, but to those who seek the true light, they are creators and inventors of a new world. The scientist-priest, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, was such a figure.\"--\u003cstrong\u003eIlia Delio, founder, Center for Christogenesis \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAs the influence of French Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin continues to expand in the church, the academy, and beyond, \u003ci\u003eEncountering Teilhard \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a fascinating testament to his importance through reflections by many who have studied and been shaped by his unique integration of science and Christian faith.

Abandon yourself into his hands of providence, and trust blindly in that God who wants you for himself just as you are.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juan de la Gala Fernandez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626986533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626986534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.38w x 0.50d","brand":"Juan de la Gala Fernandez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241980440831,"sku":"9781626986534","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c4dbc47-ad3b-4ab7-bca9-5e5f41717fcc.jpg?v=1772656912","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/encountering-teilhard-juan-de-la-gala-fernandez-9781626986534","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
