Original Blessing

Matthew Fox begins his book with two questions: "In our quest for wisdom and survival, does the human race require a new religious paradigm?" and "Does the creation-centered spiritual tradition offer such a paradigm?" His answer to both these questions is yes, and he goes on to show us all the undiscovered persons, paths, and themes of the creation-centered tradition, a tradition that predates by many centuries the "fall/redemption" ideologies of organized Western religions and has only been kept alive by artists, poets, mystics, and others within and without churches who secretly approached their faith from the deep, ecstatic, creation-centered tradition--but until now had no way to express it openly, or with understanding.--from back cover.
