Deep dives

The Concept of Salvation as Holistic and Collective

Salvation is not viewed as an individualistic endeavor but rather as a holistic and collective journey towards building the kingdom of God on earth. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of humanity, highlighting the idea that one person is not saved until all are saved. This collective view of salvation aligns with the belief that our ultimate goal is to transform the earth into a heavenly realm through our unity and shared efforts.

This week Ilia Delio joins me to discuss her new book "The Not-Yet God: Carl Jung, Teilhard de Chardin, and the Relational Whole". Delio proposes the new myth of relational holism; that is, the search for a new connection to divinity in an age of quantum physics, evolution, and pluralism. The idea of relational holism is one that is rooted in the God-world relationship, beginning with the Book of Genesis, but finds its real meaning in quantum physics and the renewed relationship between mind and matter. Our story, therefore, will traverse across the fields of science, scripture, theology, history, culture and psychology. Enjoy!
