Summary: Exciting and Accessible Postmodern Christian Theology!
Comment: Uniting mysticism and spiritual development with ethical and exemplary witness, the "creation spirituality" articulated by Matthew Fox presents an inspiring vision of an alternative Christianity for the postmodern world. Freeing himself from the chains of stale Christian dogma while protesting the cold emptiness of agnostic modernism, Fox fashions a theology and spirituality that combines mysticism with a "first world" liberation theology. Fox is a panentheist, experiencing the Divine in all of nature and humanity. The Cosmic Christ is that incarnation of God in the universe and especially in Mother Earth. He develops a relevant, postmodern interpretation of the Paschal Mystery, imaging Mother Earth as Christ crucified, resurrected, and come again. Fox's union of mysticism, science, and art, and the four spiritual paths he outlined in "Original Blessing" open up individual and communal possibilities for a spirituality that is inwardly personal and contemplative, yet outwardly driven by justice and compassion. If you want to reconnect to a progressive Christianity, this book ties together ethics, myth, and theology like no other.

Summary: Tired Heresies
Comment: A tired attempt to re-run the ancient heresy of Gnosticism. May impress ignoramuses who know nothing of theology. I attended Fox's lectures in Western Australia a few years ago. They were an incoherent babble of scientific gobbledegook, historical nonsense and psychological trickery. I am not a Catholic but I don't wonder the Catholic Church unfrocked him.

Summary: The Coming of the Cosmic Christ
Comment: This is a book for serious students of the deeply mystical. It is not for everyone. The average fundamentalist Christian is much too low on the spiritual totem pole and too hypnotically programmed to be able to understand it. Matthew Fox speaks of truths that can only be learned directly from God through meditation and prayer, not through religious double-speak and church dogma. Fox gives us the Aquarian Age message that the Christ is born in each one of us and in His entire creation.
Bible worshippers should look up everything he says because it's all right there.
