Care for Creation: A Franciscan Spirituality of the Earth
The authors combine good science with solid theology and practical applications, displaying the genius of the Franciscan tradition in lively dialogue with today s environmental crisis...a profound theology from our medieval Catholic heritage that can help put our Sister Mother Earth at the forefront of religious concern in the twenty-first century. An excellent tool for parishes, schools and study-groups concerned about expressing Christian faith through a right relationship with God s creation. --Brother William J. Short, O.F.M., professor, Christian spirituality, Franciscan School of Theology/GTU, BerkeleyIn this thoughtful and inspiring book the authors provide a great service to the earth and all its inhabitants. They show how a contemporary Franciscan spirituality of creation, following the footprints of Jesus with the guidance of Saint Francis of Assisi, can help renew the face of the earth in our own time. --John F. Haught, Ph.D., senior fellow, science and religion, Woodstock Theological Center…a delightful and valuable book, filled with information, insight and inspiration. --Roger S.
