Unlocking the Spiritual and Cultural Potential of Science's Greatest Idea
by Carter Phipps
Blending cutting-edge ideas with incisive spiritual insights, Evolutionaries is the first popular presentation of an emerging school of thought called "evolutionary spirituality." Carter Phipps, the former executive editor of EnlightenNext magazine, asserts that evolution is not only a scientific but also a spiritual idea in a book whose message has the power to bring new meaning and purpose to life as we know it. Readers will be fascinated and enlightened by Evolutionaries, a book which Deepak Chopra, the world-renowned author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheroes, Jesus, and Buddha, says "is going to help create a worldview that will influence our vision of the future direction of evolution and also our role in consciously participating in it."
Paperback original

"Brilliantly expands our understanding of evolution. Evolutionaries is going to help create a worldview that will influence our understanding of the future direction of evolution and also our role in consciously participating in it." - Deepak Chopra
"This beautifully written book is not only a splendid survey of evolutionary thought and its spiritual implications. It is also a significant contribution to the increasingly important conversation between the natural sciences and our spiritual traditions. Enthusiastically recommended." - John F. Haught, Senior Fellow at Georgetown University's Woodstock Theological Center
"We live in one of those rare historical moments when the deepest metaphysical questions are being turned over and examined as we search for a new orientation for the next millennium. It would be hard to find a better guide into this fascinating conversation than Carter Phipps's Evolutionaries." - Brian Swimme, Ph.D, Director of the Center for the Story of the Universe and Professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies
