"Pantheism in an Age of Entanglement: Rethinking the Meaning of God"

Join us for a webinar with Ilia Delio

“Pantheism in an Age of Entanglement:  Rethinking the Meaning of God”

What does the word “God” mean?  Many of us grew up with an image of God as an elderly male figure watching over us from above.  This image, however, is neither faithful to Scripture nor to our understanding of nature, as science now describes.  We will explore how the new science provides a new understanding of God and, in particular, how God and matter are brought into a unified whole.   This new God paradigm is a game-changer!

Ilia Delio, OSF, PhD is a Franciscan Sister of Washington, DC and American theologian specializing in the area of science and religion, with interests in evolution, physics and neuroscience and the import of these for theology.

Ilia currently holds the Josephine C. Connelly Endowed Chair in Theology at Villanova University, and is the author of twenty books including Care for Creation (coauthored with Keith Warner and Pamela Woods) which won two Catholic Press Book Awards in 2009, first place for social concerns and second place in spirituality. Her book The Emergent Christ won a third place Catholic Press Book Award in 2011 for the area of Science and Religion. Her recent books include The Unbearable Wholeness of Being: God, Evolution and the Power of Love (Orbis, 2013), which received the 2014 Silver Nautilus Book Award and a third place Catholic Press Association Award for Faith and Science. Ilia holds two honorary doctorates, one from St. Francis University in 2015, and one from Sacred Heart University in 2020.
