For Peter Stork, Christ’s incarnation is the revelation of God at the heart of the cosmos.
Reviewer Simon Wayte writes that Stork’s Cosmos & Revelation cogently makes the case for a Christian theology fully cognisant of the contemporary scientific landscape:
With the emergence of the human being the cosmos awakens and starts to know itself and its own inside story (p. 138). In the Christian story, Stork sees the new creation coming about as “a cosmic awakening of love” (p. 121) in which human consciousness is both the place where God reveals himself and the inside story of the cosmos (p. 142). … In the plasticity of the brain, the seat of consciousness and our “meaning-making organ” (p. 159), Stork connects the possibility of a change of mind with repentance, connecting the physical with the spiritual. Nevertheless, Stork claims that the inside story of the cosmos is not accessible with the “tools of science” (p. 170). Stork then traverses religious symbolism, monotheism, and the biblical story to reach the heart of the inside story of the universe in the divine love manifest in the crucified Christ (p. 195).
