Book Description

1570758514 978-1570758515 September 2009
Like no other religious thinker, Thomas Berry has been a prophetic voice regarding Earth s destruction and the urgent need for human response from the Christian community. This book collects Berry s signature views on the interrelatedness of both Earth s future and the Christian future. He ponders why Christians have been late in coming to the issue of the environment. He reflects insightfully on how the environment must be seen as a religious issue, not simply a scientific or economic problem.

In powerful and poetic language Berry 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 he brings the Christian tradition into a cosmology of care for the whole of creation.

About the Author

Thomas Berry, who died in 2009, was a geologian, historian of religion, and philosopher, a member of the Passionate order, and the single most important Christian and Catholic voice on the link between faith, reverence for all of life, and the environmental crisis. His many books included The Dream of the Earth and Evening Thoughts. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An ongoing pick for any serious Christian library, November 13, 2009
This review is from: The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth (Ecology and Justice) (Hardcover)
Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim edit The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth, a fine guide to Thomas Berry's reflections on Christianity and the environmental crisis. From the interrelatedness of the Earth community to a Christian thinker's concern over the Earth's situation, this offers some powerful connections between religion and the environment and is an ongoing pick for any serious Christian library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book review, September 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth (Ecology and Justice) (Hardcover)
The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth is a thin, well developed and complex book. The book should be considered if you have time and background to slowly study the contents. If you are used to reading a book once and putting it aside, this is probably not for you. To fully comprehend this book, you will need to read it two or more times and with each reading additional insights are obtained. This is a cerebal project and not a beach speed read. You may want to consider forming a study group and and develop collective understanding building upon a team concept. With time and a little (lots) of effort, this book is a great addition to your knowledge and understanding of how Christians have a great responsibility for moral and spiritual as well as to the world community.

This review is from: The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth (Ecology and Justice) (Hardcover)
The Christian Future and the Fate of Earth provides for us a guide into the future where humans can learn to live with all other species in peace and harmony. Thomas Berry helps us to know the story of the Universe and our story as One. He invites us to recognize our place in the Universe as one species among many, each having a role to play. These writings, edited by Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grimm, provide for us a way to create and live into a sustainable future. Highly recommend.
