Ecospirit by Laurel Kearns

Ecospirit by Laurel Kearns

With a fresh, transdisciplinary approach, this title aims to probe the possibility of a green shift radical enough to permeate the ancient roots of our sensibility and the social sources of our practice. It explores our sense of how to proceed in the face of an ecological crisis that demands fresh thinking and acting.

"The convenors and editors chose to focus on the relation between environmentalism and post-modernism, an increasingly important engagement for eco-theology" -ESSSAT-News "This book is a rare combination of intelligence and vision. Its essays deserve to be read--and reread--by scholars of religion, environmentalists, students, and anyone who values the sacredness of the earth." -- -Roger S. Gottlieb author of A Greener Faith: Religious Environmentalism and our Planet's Future and A Spirituality of Resistance; Worcester Polytechnic Institute "Ecospirit is best described as state-of-the-art in its field. All the essays in Ecospirit start at the cutting edge of the interdisciplinary responses to the ecological crisis and push critical questions about the effectiveness of contemporary scholarship and activism." -Comptes rendus "This wide-ranging volume embraces poetry, interfaith liturgies, ecological readings of biblical and theological texts, and philosophical analyses of our place in the natural world, all in the service of transforming our ecological attitudes and practices." -The Christian Century "... an inclusive affirmation of the need for and the commitment to change." -ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment "Ecospirit inspires new converstaions and opens fresh avenues of insight contributing to Creation's healing." -- -Norman Wirzba Georgetown College "Challenging, inspiring, and subversive." -- -David Barnhill University of Wisconsin Oshkosh "Essays that offer a theological perspective on the environment and its protection." -The Chronicle of Higher Education "A remarkable volume, given the current debate and eco-crisis." OR "Ecospirit is cutting-edge work for just the right moment! Every direction taken in this collection moves the discussion forward in re-theorizing nature, our place in it, and our critical practices. I strongly will use this volume at every opportunity." -- -Larry Rasmussen Union Theological Seminary
