In this work, Fr. Ioannis Chrysavgis explores and highlights the spiritual dimension of the natural environment, as reflected in the writings of the Fathers, as well as in the liturgical tradition of the Orthodox Church.

He presents this traditional yet progressive worldview in its entirety, emphasizing the necessity of personal and social compliance and transformation through those political, ethical, and economic choices that will respect and sustain "creation as a mystery."

An exceptional book, which could not be more timely as we seek the spirituality that will fundamentally transform the sinful and reckless destruction we wreak upon God's creation.

Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury

Without a doubt, one of the best books on the relationship between theology and ecology.
