| Summary: | In God in Cosmic History, Ted Peters seeks to establish cosmic history by incorporating religion and the God question into big history.

We still need to find new ways to express ancient wisdom that are not inconsistent with science. Ted Peters sets us off on a very useful path to do this, but the journey is still underway. |
