The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth - Paperback

by Berry Thomas (Author), Mary Evelyn Tucker (Editor), John Grim (Editor)

In this volume, celebrated author and "geologian" Thomas Berry reflects on Christianity and the environmental crisis of our times. In powerful and poetic language, he presents a compelling vision of the sacredness of the universe and the interrelatedness of the Earth community. Drawing on Thomas Aquinas and Teilhard de Chardin, Berry brings the Christian tradition into a cosmology of care for the whole of creation.
