Beatrice Bruteau (1930–2014) was a pioneer in the integrated study of science, spirituality, philosophy, and religion. She was the founder of Schola Contemplationis and the Fellowship of the Holy Trinity, and an author of numerous books, including Radical Optimism, What We Can Learn from the East, The Easter Mysteries, and God's Ecstasy.

"[Bruteau] updates and reweaves her unique synthesis of a progressive evolution, Eastern traditions, neo-feminism, which altogether achieve a consummate twenty-first century Christian vision. In a series of essays that course among these realms and others, Dr. Bruteau proceeds and builds toward a radically novel Earthwide Christianity." —Thailand Perspective"The Grand Option sings from start to finish with passion and depth. Bruteau brilliantly evokes the cosmic dimension of evolution and morphs Christian theology into a razor-sharp and inspired theory of collective human transformation that will appeal to Christians and non-Christians alike." —What is Enlightenment?"Written with clarity and elegance, Dr. Bruteau's book combines a rich legacy of intellectual wealth with her own valuable personal experience and mystical contemplation." —Prabuddha Bharata"Every now and then there arises a prophet in our midst marked by a voice that is distinctly new and totally different than the familiar. The Jesuit scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was one such voice and Beatrice Bruteau, a disciple of Teilhard, is another. In this collection of essays written over a period of twenty years, Bruteau offers us a luminous vision of a new social order in an evolutionary world. This is a profound book, written by a scholar of wisdom. It is a book that can appeal to a wide variety of people–academics and nonacademics alike–because of its depth and breadth. [A]ll those who read The Grand Option will not only be lured by Bruteau's vision and insight but will return time and again to this book, for it is itself an evolution in thought." —Spiritual Life
