The question of the cosmic reality of Christ is central to modern Christianawareness. We see lively debate about Christs nature in relation to the earthand creation not only within the Church itself but also in more speculativeareas of thinking and feeling such as creation spirituality and the New Agemovement.The works of Teilhard de Chardin and Fritjof Capra have stimulated many tothink spiritually about the created world and the part of humankind in itsevolution. These issues were also illuminated by Rudolf Steiner in hisChristology which placed the Incarnation at a pivotal point of earthlyevolution.Exploring the work of the cosmic Christ Schroeder draws upon these sources andclarifies the concepts of reality evil and the meaning of cosmic. Hesummarizes the cosmic dimension of Christ in the New Testament and thedeveloping consciousness of humans in relation to the Logos and examines howwe are to engage personally in a natural but deeply conscious relationship withthe Christ among us.HansWerner Schroeder born in 1931 is a priest of the Christian Community. Heteaches at the seminary in Stuttgart and is part of thc leadership of thismovement for religious renewal. «
