"...many interesting vignettes and reflections on racial issues and how they might be viewed differently by looking at popularized notions of cosmology and science. There is much in this book that will, indeed, alter the way I look at racial issues. There is much here for spiritual reflection." -Anglican Theological Review, 86:1, "Barbara A. Holmes, theologian/ethicist/activist/lawyer, takes to the podium like a maestro weaving the melodies of mystery, cultural and scientific dialogue, in her quest for freedom and a just community of the beloved. Conducting the movements of metaphor and meaning, at once symphonic jazz and Mississippi Delta Blues, Race and the Cosmos is a must-read for those wrestling with the exceedingly disputed category of race, for those who long for global peace, for those who want to make a difference. To read this work is to experience kaleidoscopic, quantum power and inspiration. As a cautionary tale, we are reminded of the lost discourse of liberation toward human fulfillment. As a prophetic social witness of proclamation, Holmes invites us to entertain cosmos and critique, inquiry and activism, imagination and interpretation, awareness and limitations, perils and possibilities, notions of dominance and quantum theory, and moral hope and fulfillment toward a vision of life that is desirable, healing, and beloved." -- Cheryl A.

Kirk-Duggan Executive Director, Center for Women and Religion, Core Doctoral Faculty, Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, CA, In Race and the Cosmos, Professor Holmes skillfully creates a dialogue between physics and cosmology that invites readers to reexamine conventional ideas and ideals about our sociopolitical struggle and spiritual quest for racial reconciliation. This book is an extraordinary example of the kind of constructive ethical thinking needed in the twenty-first century.Marcia Y.

Synopsis
Barbara A. Holmes addresses the issues of ethics, cosmology, and physics from the perspective of race., In Race and the Cosmos, Barbara Holmes boldly suggests that theoretical physics and cosmology have the power to break through our stalled and difficult discussions about race. At the intersection of ethics, cosmology, and physics, a new view of human life is emerging �a view not neatly divided along lines of race, ethnicity, class, or sexual orientation. Human life at cosmic and quantum levels has a unity independent of external social categories such as science and religion.The ways that modern culture defines us can no longer provide spiritual connections, Holmes says. Quantum and cosmic metaphors about self, society, and God point to origins, mysteries, and ultimate things. The worlds of cosmology and quantum mechanics offer us the resonance and rhetoric of a multi-dimensional universe, and give us new ways to talk about the individual and communal quest for moral fulfillment. The language of cosmology can replace older ways of thinking and talking about race and ethnicity. This new language unifies rather than divides, in a cosmic universe that is both staggering and healing in its human/divine scope.Barbara A. Holmes is Associate Professor of Ethics and African American Religious Studies, Memphis Theological Seminary. She is author of A Private Woman in Public Spaces. She lives in Germantown, Tennessee.>

It seems for this specific book the automated form filling software used by many sellers puts forward the multiple reprints between 1999 and 2001 as 1st editions. Thankfully this seller provided detailed photos, so I could order in confidence. The book arrived on the 1st day of the delivery window and was very securely boxed up. A happy customer.
