Combining passionate ecological texts from ancient Christian writers with sixty brilliant color photographs of the natural world, this book provides both food for the soul and a feast for the eyes. The words and images vivify each other and inspire a sensitivity to the Earth, while revealing the long- hidden ecological riches of the Christian tradition.

The exuberant beauty of Earth is presented here in the full grandeur of its form and color and with seldom-seen passages from biblical and early Christian writers interpreting Earth's mystical role in bringing the divine presence to our human understanding. A book that awakens us all to the sublime heritage that is ours and the immense tragedy of the destruction that is taking place by our industrial plundering; for we depend on the beauty of the outer world of nature to evoke the beauty of the inner world of our human imagination, emotions and understanding. (Comments of Thomas Berry, author of The Dream of the Earth and coauthor of The Universe Story)
