Descriere magazin:
In a time of rapid climate change and species extinction, what role have the world\'s religions played in ameliorating-or causing-the crisis we now face?

And yet, buried deep within the Christian tradition are startling portrayals of God as the beaked and feathered Holy Spirit - the animal God, as it were, of historic Christian witness. Through biblical readings, historical theology, continental philosophy, and personal stories of sacred nature, this book recovers the model of God in Christianity as a creaturely, avian being who signals the presence of spirit in everything, human and more-than-human alike. Mark Wallace\'s recovery of the bird-God of the Bible signals a deep grounding of faith in the natural world. The moral implications of nature-based Christianity are profound. All life is deserving of humans\' care and protection insofar as the world is
