The contributors examine a number of the world's established and ancient religious traditions-Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and others-to draw out the panentheistic dimensions of these traditions and the possibilities they suggest. Panentheism is not only an esoteric, potentially heretical, and deeply mystical vision of the world's great religious pasts; it is also a key feature of contemporary global spirituality. As this volume demonstrates, the metaphors and practices associated with modern panentheism speak powerfully to the realities of our evolving species and our evolving technological world. Panentheism's enticingly heretical vision of the relationship between the divine and matter has historically been denied a serious place in scholarship. As \u003cem\u003ePanentheism across the World's Traditions\u003c\/em\u003e shows, the dynamism between matter and spirit that panentheism offers has had a profound influence in the modern world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoriliai Biernacki\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Director of Graduate Studies for the Department of Religious Studies.
