Overview

These are the end-times. We hear this sentiment in one way or another from various sources, from the fundamentalist preacher to the scientist warning us of climate change. This is a time of economic uncertainty, political oppression, and cultural unraveling. Apocalypse, in the ancient world and today, is the experience of disconnection, of unraveling. It is when old gods are dying and the old stories no longer have meaning. Drawing from sources ranging from the ancient apocalyptic traditions to contemporary science, The Great Re-imagining explores the deep narratives that have brought us to the brink of apocalypse and invites us to re-imagine our place in the world.

"""With grace and intelligence grounded in a generous spirit, Richards plunges into the vortex and grapples with the fundamental questions that haunt us, that swirl around us in chaos and furor. What does it mean to be human at this precious but precarious moment? Let go. Dive in. Have your awakening in the uproar of the hurricane."" -Bill Ayers, author of Fugitive Days ""This engaging book examines Apocalypse as a rite of passage. After reading planetary 'tea-leaves' suggesting certain destruction, Richards joins those challenging us to imagine global rebirth..."" -Kurt Johnson PhD, co-author The Coming Interspiritual Age ""A work of great wisdom and prophetic imagination. Today we need Richards' work more than ever. I hope everyone reads this book and acts on it!"" -Adam Bucko, author of Occupy Spirituality and The New Monasticism ""The Great Re-imagining takes on our current apocalyptic moment, and dares us to imagine a new future, a new and universal cosmology, for which we have no obvious reference point, but which Richards provokes us to sense with wonder. This book is quite simply the manual for how to approach the apocalypse. Daring, visionary, and blunt, it demands to be read."" -Gint Aras, author of The Fugue ""A work of great wisdom and prophetic imagination. Today we need Richards' work more than ever. I hope everyone reads this book and acts on it!"" -Adam Bucko author of Occupy Spirituality"
