Sacramental Commons: Christian Ecological Ethics (Nature's Meaning)

Sacramental Commons is a groundbreaking book that offers a unique perspective on the intersection of religion and environment.

By exploring the concept of 'sacrament' (signs of divine presence) in relation to 'commons' (shared place and shared goods), this book provides insights into how local natural settings and communities can inspire respect and compassion.

Through Earth-oriented biblical teachings, ideas from influential thinkers such as Hildegard, St.

Francis, John Muir, and Black Elk, and innovative Christian Ecological Ethics, Sacramental Commons challenges the traditional notion of 'natural rights' and affirms the intrinsic value of ecosystems.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the moral dimensions of environmental issues and how to live in interdependent relationships with the natural world.
