Book Review: Christ and the Universe by Robert Hale
Edifying and understandable
This is a book that originally was a doctoral thesis, mine printed around 1972. It is a work that allows the reader to participate in a thought process and intuitive, yes even intuitive, scholarly study of Teilhard de Chardin and the Cosmos. I recommend the book, a slim volume of good writing that is understandable to the layman or anyone interested in the cosmic idea of the Christ and the considerations of God (the Triune) in our lives.
The writer, who is known to me as the Very Reverend is part of the Order of Saint Benedict, Camaldoles. The work holds the imprint of his order, showing its acceptability as doctrine.
What I like most about the book is that one can follow the thoughts and scholarship, with its excellent references. The author, Father Robert, has let us in on the look at a four-fold analysis of de Chardin through scripture, tradition, reason, and scholarship. As he says in his conclusion, “Teilhard’s central thesis is that the universe is intrinsically and organically Christic, that it constitutes the `cosmic Body of Christ.’”
Finding a hardback copy may be difficult, so I recommend going through Amazon to get yourself one, or if you are lucky as I was to find it in a Church in Berkeley among the sharing stacks of books (All Souls, Episcopal). That may be likely at some similar places, but there is not another one there. The copy I have, which is 125 pages long is published by Franciscan Herald Press as a work of theology. This is a Catholic publishing house. My opinion is that Christians, including the mainstream, will find this book edifying and understandable. Good exercise for your reading skills, too.

| | Amazon Ambush : 1414110219 $15.69 The rainforest is vanishing! Brazil, a country once lush with trees and exotic plants, and teeming with unique animal species, is struggling to survive. Its trademark trees, flowers, and other plant species are slowly dying. Once, beautiful and energetic lemurs with fluorescent eyes ranged throughout the forests, but now they are nowhere to be found-gone forever from Brazil’s Amazon forests. Vanished! What-or who-is behind this devastation? That’s what the King’s Kids set out to discover in their amazing vessel, the Good Ship Lady Faith. Even more amazing is that they never travel alone, always relying on God’s supernatural guidance and protection for their mission and their lives. Amazon Ambush, the first book in a brand-new adventure series, mixes the high-tech nature of Spy Kids with the adventure of Indiana Jones, blended with the heart of Adventures in Odyssey. You’ll notice many unique features in the series. (For example, each illustration contains the name Jesus. Can you find it?) F. Chapin Marsh III, Ed.D., loves Jesus and he loves kids. Chapin lives in Southern California, with his children (whose names you’ll recognize in the Lady Faith series) and his wife, Christine, a constant source of support and joy. The headmaster of Calvary Christian Academy in Chula Vista, CA, Chapin has published two other books: A Classic Excellence and The Faith Factor: Unlocking God’s Amazing Plan for Your Abundant Life. He is also the president and CEO of Youth Development International (YDI) in Head Waters, VA. Visit them at: www.ydionline.org. |

| | Scoping the Amazon $70.48 The Amazon Indian is an icon that straddles the world between the professional anthropologist and the popular media. Presented alternately as the noble primitive, the savior of the environment, and as a savage, dissolute, cannibalistic half-human, it is an image well worth examining. Stephen Nugent does just that, critiquing the claims of authoritativeness inherent in visual images presented by anthropologists of Amazon life in the early 20th century and comparing them with the images found in popular books, movies, and posters. The book depicts the field of anthropology as its own form of culture industry and contrasts it to other similar industries, past and present. For visual anthropologists, ethnographers, Amazon specialists, and popular culture researchers, Nugent’s book will be enlightening, entertaining reading. |
| | The Amazon, 2nd $4.48 The Amazon is one of the most exotic, mythical, and famous regions of the globe and the ultimate destination for explorers. Much of the region remains incompletely charted, while the discovery of new species in the Amazon jungle makes it the best place on earth to observe the wonders and diversity of evolution first-hand. A detailed, illustrated natural history section is dedicated to the secret life of Amazon plants, animals of the "Emerald Forest", and the water world of the river basin. Under constant battle against commercial encroachment, travelers are advised how to keeping their own impact on The Amazon to a minimum with guidelines on eco-tourism. A thorough background on the indigenous tribes and settlers helps provide a complete understanding of the region’s peoples. |

| | Lost In The Amazon $18.98 In 1995, Stephen Kirkpatrick joined a five-man expedition into the remote jungles of the Peruvian Amazon. Kirkpatrick’s assignment was to document an area of the rainforest that had never before been photographed, nor by most accounts, ever explored by white men. Within hours of their departure, an inaccurate map and a series of bad decisions leave the group hopelessly lost in the depths of the Amazon jungle. What began as a career-making photo expedition quickly turned into a desperate struggle for survival. The five men battle poisonous reptiles, hungry bugs, torrential rains, brutal heat, and an unforgiving landscape in an attempt to find their way back to civilization. They soon learn that survival is not only a physical, but a mental and spiritual challenge as well. Lost in the Amazon is a gripping, sometimes humorous, and ultimately inspirational story about the human drive to survive, and about clinging to faith in the worst circumstances imaginable. |
