Becoming New: Finding God within Us and in Creation

In Becoming New two leading theological and spiritual writers, one from Germany and the other from Brazil, exchange reflections on the nature and presence of God. While Anselm Grün puts more emphasis on finding God within us, Leonardo Boff focuses more on God’s presence in the unfolding story of the universe. Yet their perspectives converge on the conviction that both dimensions must be brought together and they agree that the essence of God is love.

They show that the Divine Mystery is powerful and unfathomable, but wherever love reigns we can experience God with all of our senses. In that spirit, we—as individual human beings and as representatives of the entire cosmos—can become one with God.
