A leading scholar, cultural historian, and Catholic priest who spent more than fifty years writing about our engagement with the Earth, Thomas Berry possessed prophetic insight into the rampant destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of species. In this book he makes a persuasive case for an interreligious dialogue that can better confront the environmental problems of the twenty-first century. These erudite and keenly sympathetic essays represent Berry's best work, covering such issues as human beings' modern alienation from nature and the possibilities of future, regenerative forms of religious experience. Asking that we create a new story of the universe and the emergence of the Earth within it, Berry resituates the human spirit within a sacred totality. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Some authors have favorite words that they use - Melville seemed to like the word "verdure" and Muir used the word "detritus" more often than was statistically probable. Berry's word seems to be "numinous." He uses it of nature, and it explains his theology to an extent.
The book is a collection of essays beginning in the early 1970's and ending in 2001. The review I read before I read the book said something like, "it starts slowly but progresses." I would concur with that. ( )
