The Big Bang and Ecclesiology

Abstract

The present article explores how the Big Bang might contribute to our ecclesial self-awareness. While maintaining a clear distinction between the scientific and theological approaches to avoid any possibility of concordism, the author explains how the theory of the Big Bang is a “cue” to understanding and exploring the nature of the Church. In other words, by homing in on its origin, the author recovers within the historical “variability” that fixed point that gave rise and continues to give rise to the Church.
