Give our Lord the benefit of the trust to believe that his hand is leading you. And accept the tension of being in suspense and unfinished yourself.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881–1955) war ein französischer Jesuitenpater, Theologe und Paläontologe, der unter anderem in Frankreich, China und den USA forschte. Bekannt wurde er durch den Versuch, die christliche Schöpfungslehre mit der Evolutionstheorie zu verbinden, was zu Lebzeiten zu kirchlichen Publikationsverboten führte. Für Bibelleser bietet sein Werk Impulse für das Gespräch zwischen Naturwissenschaft und Glauben, bleibt jedoch wegen dogmatischer Spannungen und zeitbedingter eugenischer Äußerungen umstritten.
