Description
Ecoactivist Testament is written for those who are now at the front lines of discipleship in this era of planetary emergency, especially for those who sometimes feel spiritually isolated or exhausted. In this forthright and plainspoken book, longtime Christian ecojustice activist and well-known ecological theologian H. Paul Santmire, inspired by the witness of Saint Francis of Assisi, tells a powerful personal story as he explores the riches of a biblically informed theological vision of God's love for the whole creation. This engaging first-person narrative will appeal both to faith-based ecoactivists of long standing and to those who are pondering this calling for the first time.
