"Richly informative and provocative."
--Review for Religious

"Stephen Bede Scharper has added a significant new book to the growing collection of Christian ecotheological offerings....an admirable job of summarizing the main strands of Christian environmental theologies and highlighting the most valuable contributions of each....heartfelt...There is much to celebrate in this book!...presents a comprehensible and accessible guide to the major varieties of what Scharper calls 'Christian ecological theology.'...In this book he succeeds not just in coherently summarizing a number of the most important voices in ecotheology, but also in giving us a blueprint for the changed consciousness necessary to motivate a conversion from our destructive earth-damaging behavior to a more earth-friendly way of living."

Readable and original

A sensitive, comprehensive, prodigiously reasearched and erudite volume. It's about time Christianity is taking ecological destruction seriously, and this book is perhaps the most sophisticated overview of the issues yet assembled. The idea of an anthroharmonic approach is also original and helpful.
