More About the Author

Steven Chase, Ph.D. was born and grew up amid the redwood forests of northern California and southern Oregon. He has taught spirituality and historical theology for 20 years and is currently Resident Scholar at the Collegeville Institute of Ecumenical and Cultural Research in Minnesota. Steven has served as a spiritual director since 1992, has led many spiritual retreats, and has served as Director of Prayer and Ritual at a Dominican center of spirituality. He is past President of the Society for the Study of Christian Spirituality. Steven's writing includes subjects in mysticism, spirituality, contemplation, and nature. Just out are two related books, Nature as Spiritual Practice and A Field Guide to Nature as Spiritual Practice. These innovative books together show how nature serves as a sacred text and and how clearly described, practical "creation practices" can instill reverence and wonder toward nature while awakening a greater commitment to creation care. The two books contain thought-provoking contemplative exercises that reclaim the role of nature in the formation of spiritual and moral identity. Dr. Chase is currently writing a theological commentary on the Book of Job that will emphasize the role of creation in both suffering and transformation in the spiritual journey. He is the father of a lovely, wonder-possessed nineteen year old daughter, Rachel.
