Teilhard de Chardin, theologian despite himself

Description

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin approached the book of Genesis with his goal of reconciling his Christian faith with his commitment to science. His reading of the Bible is therefore done with the public in mind, who, like him, are proud of scientific discoveries, and read at the first degree, with a scientific mindset, being, therefore, little inclined to symbolic reading. He will therefore go through these successive chapters by challenging a literalist reading, by translating each character, each place, each action, into a symbolic reading, significant of his great perspectives.
