What People are Saying About This
"Five hundred years ago, the Reformation shook European society's foundations by challenging a corrupted religious order. In recent decades, Protestant churches have joined those who care for the earth, aiming to shake the foundations of our hyper-capitalist, technocratic world order that violates the integrity of creation on a titanic scale. These essays, from leading voices from within the Protestant eco-reformation, issue the challenge and inspiration we all need to hear."
Fletcher Harper, Executive Director, GreenFaith
"In the footsteps of the religious reformer Martin Luther, who called attention to the spiritual urgencies of his day, the authors in this timely volume express a critical and an expansive Lutheran voice for the urgent care of creation and the common good. The essays make a compelling point that honoring and choosing life in its different forms belongs at the center of the re-orientation and paradigm shifts with the Reformation legacy."
Kirsi Stjerna, Lutheran History and Theology, Chair, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary of California Lutheran University
"It is refreshing to see the power of argument and of organizing inherent in these words. For people of faith these questions could not be more real or timely."
Bill McKibben, from the Foreword
