Michael Dowd is on a mission from God–the God of
Evolution, that is. A former evangelical minister and
protégé of the great Thomas Berry, Dowd travels
around the United States spreading what he calls a new gospel
(aka: The Great Story or Evolutionary
Christianity), an all encompassing cosmic story that he
hopes will serve as the basis for a new and universal spiritual
mythos capable of bridging the gap between science and religion,
faith and the future of the humanity. In this exclusive
Unbound interview, Dowd speaks with Carter Phipps about
his work, his life on the road (for the last four years!), and
his vision of a great Wilberian transcend-and-include flip he
hopes will help propel us from a “my God vs. your
God”, “my belief vs. your fact” world into one
where a higher unity founded on evolutionary truths,
awe-inspiring scientific fact, and yes—religious order—might one day prevail.
