Should we attempt to understand (macro-)evolutionary biology, in the twenty-first century, as secular or sacred? This book will attempt to answer this question by exploring the secular evolutionary worldview, the author's view of kenotic-causation, Whitehead's views on chance, Derrida's views on non-human animals, a statement upon the God of chance and purpose, Augustine's various theologies of creation, a decidedly non-dualistic (macro-)evolution, a provocative thesis regarding evolutionary Christology, the connection between kenosis and emergence, and an explication of both Anders Nygren and Thomas Jay Oord's views of love in the contemporary environ. It also develops the author's personal view regarding necessary, kenotically-donated, and self-giving love, and argues that kenosis and emergence can add to the discussion of understanding the theology-science-love symbiosis. It advocates and explicates herein a monistic process-based view of the overlapping relationship between theology and science.

Industry Reviews

“Bursting with the energies of the creative process it tracks, McCall’s Evolution works lucidly and lovingly across a rich multidisciplinary spectrum. His reading of the mysterious, indeed mystical, kenosis makes a vibrant contribution to the theology of emergence.”
—Catherine Keller, George T. Cobb Professor of Constructive Theology, Drew Theological School; author of Political Theology of the Earth: Our Planetary Emergency and the Struggle for a New Public

“This book deserves careful reading given its comprehensive review of the Christian God-world relation in the light of contemporary process-oriented cosmologies. McCall’s emphasis is on the immanence of God as Spirit to the world of creation. Equal emphasis on the transcendence of the triune God to the world of creation would also seem to be required.”
—Joseph A. Bracken, SJ, Emeritus Professor of Theology, Xavier University

“The kingdom, church, and world need more writing with this kind of thoughtful critical analysis. McCall’s book is a welcomed addition to the canon of faith and science.”
—Matthew Nelson Hill, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Spring Arbor University
