Amid global & human crises of historic proportions, there is a need for understanding & revering our world - & above all, for recognizing our responsibility for bringing about a new creation, a new order of being. This unique book gives a biblical perspective to our role in the face of ecological choices & human survival. Van Rossum, a distinguished scholar, offers biblical commentaries & ecological reflections that illuminate contemporary concerns. She also presents a telling & cogent analysis of the inevitable role of the human community in choosing life - all forms of life - for the sake of survival. "Choosing life," Van Rossum writes, "requires an exodus from our present social order based on anthroprocentrism, militarism, consumerism, & technomania to an ecologically conscious global community based on biocentric & geocentric perspectives. It requires a compassionate & disciplined lifestyle that...honors the unity & diversity within the community of creation." Van Rossum explores the seven major areas of the Judeo-Christian scriptures (from the pre-history of Genesis through the Book of Revelation) & reflects on ways in which they convey an ecological wisdom to our age. Reinhabiting the Earth awakens us to the interdependence of all beings. It is a work of exceptional spiritual wisdom, a compelling & timely book that humanity cannot ignore.
