Recensioner i media

The articles in this set of 28 papers and responses, part of Harvard’s series on world religions and ecology, discuss how Christianity might, on the one hand, be an ally to the ecological movement and how, on the other hand, ecological problems are demanding changes in Christian theology, church organization, and ways of conceiving Christian life… The articles and responses, in general, are written by some of the most renowned people in the field and are of superb quality.
