Written to enable researchers and students to better understand the specialised language of Teilhard's transdisciplinary approach, which he found himself compelled to develop as a means of expressing that extraordinary vision of a universe in process of convergence towards a cosmic centre of unity he identifies with the Cosmic Christ. All quotations in the Lexicon have been sourced from the French originals. The work includes a full bibliography of Teilhard's works in French and English. 2005 marks the 50th anniversary of Teilhard's death. Several conferences are planned to mark this anniversary.

"A new phase in Teilhard studies should soon make its appearance as we understand more clearly the insight into the evolutionary process that he has given us. This new resource will help immensely." - Thomas Berry, Past President, American Teilhard Association.
