Book Launch & Reception Anticipating Omega by Ted Peters
Anticipating Omega is a work of constructive theology that takes into the theological enterprise the findings of the latest research in the natural sciences. Ted Peters asks how the eschatological vision of God’s ultimate future (omega) fits on a map of reality along with physics, evolutionary biology, genetics, and technical prognostications for a post-human future. He formulates a unique theory providing a retroactive ontology of the future in an attempt to understand today’s world in light of tomorrow’s world of transformation. The theological position taken in this book expands on that developed in his earlier work, GOD—The World’s Future (Fortress, rev. ed., 2000).
