This captivating book presents a groundbreaking theological perspective on the multiverse hypothesis. Through a unique methodology, it unveils that participatory metaphysics, derived from ancient and medieval sources, holds immense potential as a fertile theological ground to explore contemporary notions of the multiverse. The book delves into three key thinkers and themes: Plato and cosmic multiplicity, Aquinas and cosmic diversity, and Nicholas of Cusa and cosmic infinity. By engaging these thinkers' insights with a diverse array of contemporary theological, philosophical, and scientific figures, the book demonstrates that a participatory account of the relationship between God and creation fosters a profound continuity between theology and the multiverse proposal in modern cosmology. This stands in contrast to the prevailing assumption that these two realms are in conflict. By offering a fresh approach to theologizing about the multiverse, this book emerges as a valuable resource for scholars engaged in the fields of Religion and Science, Theology, Metaphysics, and Cosmology. It provides a profound exploration of the intricate interplay between faith and science, offering a deeper understanding of the cosmic tapestry and its implications for our understanding of God, creation, and the ultimate destiny of the universe.
