A New Reformation: Creation Spirituality and the Transformation of Christianity
“Insightful and profound. History will name Fox one of the great Christian spirits of our age.” (John Shelby Spong, author of A New Christianity for a New World)"Fox bases many of his 95 theses on the ideas and ideals of Creation Spirituality which blends the wisdom of western religion with the insights of science and indigenous cultures. It salutes the power of creativity and imagination and emphasizes the calling of all to be the sons and daughters of God. It honors panentheism, women's wisdom, the contributions of gays and lesbians to global cultures, the joy of dance and celebration, eco-justice, the need to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor, and the daily practice of compassion as the best expression of spirituality." (Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, SpriitualityandPractice.com, May 2006)"A New Reformation is very strongly recommended and iconoclastic reading, and to be given high praise as an outstandingly informative and quite comprehensive study of the Christian movement, especially the Catholic church, and a coherent presentation of the more progressive aspects of the Christian religion in modern times." (Michael Dunford, Midwest Book Review, Mar 2006)"The first half of the book contains compelling background and historical information explaining why we find ourselves in this current situation of cover-ups and abuses within the church. The second half of the book contains the Theses whose purpose is to provide guidelines for evolving religion in the new millennium. As Thesis #11 tells us “Religion is not necessary, but spirituality is.”" (Creations Magazine, Nov 2006)“This is a deep and forceful book. . . . With prophetic insight, Matthew Fox reveals what has corrupted religion in the West and the therapy for its healing.” (Bruce Chilton, professor of religion, Bard College, and author of Rabbi Jesus: An Intimate Biography)“One of the great prophetic voices of our time.” (David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World)
