The World to Come by Lloyd Geering

Lloyd Geering observes that we have come not only to the end of the millennium, but to the end of Christendom, the dissolution of Christian orthodoxy, the failure of modernism, and the end of old mythic certainties. We are entering a new era, the global era, which is post-Christian. We must find some way to end humanity's war with itself and with the planet. In The World to Come, Geering sketches his vision of a new global spirituality that incorporates the best of our legacy from the past and promotes care for all living creatures and the earth itself.

"In a time when all overviews and master-narratives are condemned, and we struggle to understand ourselves in limited contexts, Geering has dared to view our situation, our history, and our prospects from an Olympian height. The result is persuasive and profoundly illuminating." —John B. Cobb, Jr., Founder of the Center for Process Studies, and author of The Earthist Challenge to Economism

"Lloyd Geering is a man of remarkable fortitude and vision. In The World to Come he ranges more widely and sees further than ever. Just the book for the turn of the millennium." —Don Cupitt, Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and author of After God

"Lloyd Geering has been one of the most perceptive Christian minds in the twentieth century. Now, in The World to Come, he lifts the veil on the Third Millennium and shows us what the Christian Church faces in its future. It is sweeping, provocative and engaging." —The Rt. Rev. John Shelby Spong, author of Why Christianity Must Change or Die
