In this episode we explore two shifts that occur at the turn of the 19th century that start to provide meaningful shape to the experience of living at the time: i) the shift from a cosmos to the universe, ii) an understanding an acceptance of the evoluntionary process.
As limits start to fade into a distant past, the imagination of the ordinary person slowly becomes more and more open to possibilities.
Rather than despair, this should be a moment of hope for Christians as we realise that imaginations everywhere are open for the rich reality of the Gospel.
