“One of the first theologians to attempt to address these concerns (reconcile evolution, God, and Christianity) was Jesuit paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955). He engagement with evolution was personally costly, since his church put considerable institutional pressure on him for his insistence on a theological engagement with evolution.”

And on p 15:

“While his (Teilhard’s) attempt to reconcile these disparate fields has not endured as a solution to the problem of an evolutionary theology, his efforts were significant in raising questions about how to fully embrace both evolution and theology in inventive and imaginative ways.”

In a French lit class at BYU we read his play “En attendant Godot” (or in English “Waiting for Godot.” Beckett was an Irish ex-pat who lived in France and wrote in French. The original French version of “Godot” was written between October 1948 and January 1949. It is one of the most significant plays of the 20th century. I think the play is currently being performed in NYC.

His “Le Petit Prince” is a masterpiece of children’s (and adult) literature. He died during WWII.
