About this ebook

Is there nothing distinctive that Christians can contribute to the environmental cause beyond “human resources,” responsible citizenship, and consumer power? Robin Parry argues that what Christianity has to offer is a distinctive spirituality, one that provides a rich rationale for creation care, principles to guide it, and the resources to empower, equip, and form people to walk the pathway with resilience. This book seeks to bring into focus the critical importance of God’s creation inherent in Christian theological beliefs, spiritual action, and ethical values. It explores a range of biblical teachings and practices that help us to see the world with new eyes, discerning the presence of God’s Wisdom at the heart of all things. At its core, this is a book about a slow spirituality, one that helps us reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world as we learn what it means to inhabit creation as creatures, living alongside other creatures, with faces turned towards our Creator.
