Klappentext zu „The Sacred Universe: Earth, Spirituality, and Religion in the Twenty-First Century “
A leading scholar, cultural historian, and Catholic priest who spent more than fifty years writing about our engagement with the Earth, Thomas Berry possessed prophetic insight into the rampant destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of species. In this book he makes a persuasive case for an interreligious dialogue that can better confront the environmental problems of the twenty-first century. These erudite and keenly sympathetic essays represent Berry's best work, covering such issues as human beings' modern alienation from nature and the possibilities of future, regenerative forms of religious experience. Asking that we create a new story of the universe and the emergence of the Earth within it, Berry resituates the human spirit within a sacred totality.

Rezension zu „The Sacred Universe: Earth, Spirituality, and Religion in the Twenty-First Century “
Dedicated readers of ecology, theology, or religious philosophy will want to savor each one [of these essays]. Library Journal 7/1/09 The volume is a fair encapsulation of the intellectual concerns for which Berry is best known. -- Christina Peppard Commonweal 1/29/10 Thoams Berry demonstrattes in these papers the qualities he calls for: humanist vision and imagination. Resurgence 09/01/10 When encountering the essays, one is struck by the clarity of analyses showing humanity's destructive antagonism toward the Earth. In them we observe the gradual evocation of a vision in which this antagonism is overcome so that we can live in harmony and peace on our planetary home. -- Norman Wirzba Journal of the American Academy of Religion 9/1/2011 The Sacred Universe is an important, inspiring compendium fo the thought of a great soul and spiritually profound seeker, who cogently and consistently reminds, even after his death, that we must learn to feel at home in the universe. -- Stephen B. Scharper America 11/30/2009
