Behold the Lilies by H Paul Santmire

Behold the Lilies draws from the riches of the author's long-standing work in the theology of nature and ecological spirituality, especially from his classic historical study, The Travail of Nature (1985), and from his Franciscan exploration in Christian spirituality, Before Nature (2014). In this new volume, Santmire maintains that those who would follow Jesus are mandated not just to care for the earth and all its creatures but also to contemplate the beauties of the whole creation, beginning with the lilies of the field. His first-person reflections range from Scything with God to Rediscovering Saint Francis in Stone, from Taking a Plunge in the Niagara River to Pondering the Darkness of Nature. Behold the Lilies offers brief spiritual reflections that can be read in any order, over a period of time. This accessible primer will be welcomed not only by those who have already identified themselves with the way of Jesus but also by others who are searching for a contemplative spirituality attuned to global ecological and justice issues.

For more than fifty years, H.Paul Santmire has been a pioneer in the field of ecological theology. Brother Earth (1970), his first book, is widely considered as a groundbreaking masterpiece. He is the author of The Travail of Nature (1985), Nature Reborn (2000), Ritualizing Nature (2008), Before Nature (2014), and See the Lilies (Cascade, 2017). He is ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
