Based on a constructive reading of Scripture, the apostolic and patristic traditions and deeply rooted in the sacramental experience and spiritual ethos of the Orthodox Church, John Zizioulas offers a timely anthropological and cosmological perspective of human beings as “priests of creation” in addressing the current ecological crisis. Given the critical and urgent character of the global crisis and by adopting a clear line of argumentation, Zizioulas describes a vision based on a compassionate and incarnational conception of the human beings as liturgical beings, offering creation to God for the life of the world. He encourages the need for deeper interaction with modern science, from which theology stands to gain an appreciation of the interconnection of every aspect of materiality and life with humankind. The result is an articulate and promising vision that inspires a new ethos, or way of life, to overcome our alienation from the rest of creation.

This book offers an Eastern Orthodox animal theology, presenting theological, ontological, and ethical arguments against animal suffering and abuse.Historically, theological discussions have emphasized human exceptionalism, prioritizing the needs and well-being of humanity at the expense of nature. In this book, Nikolaos Asproulis locates an Eastern Orthodox doctrine which advocates on behalf of animal life. Moving beyond rudimentary discussions of anthropomorphism, Asproulis prompts readers to find meaning in the alleviation of animal suffering through care. Across six chapters, this book considers the often-ignored, pro-animal voices within the early Christian church and crafts an up-to-date animal theology which considers animal life within the context of ecological crisis and climate change. By articulating a particularly Orthodox theological account of animals, Asproulis fills a gap within Orthodox theology and scholarly study. At its core, Asproulis provides a framework for how to meaningfully advocate for animal life and resist pervasive theologies and cultural pressures to live at the expense of animal life.

Nikos Nissiotis (1924-1986) was one of the foremost and formative intellectuals of the ecumenical movement in the twentieth century. As professor of philosophy and psychology of religion at the University of Athens, director of the Bossey Institute, and Chairman of the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches, he interpreted the Orthodox spiritual tradition for a Western audience and highlighted the role of Christian thought in the modern world.This collection of his most fundamental and significant articles – some of which have been largely inaccessible until now – includes an introduction by the editors to the ecumenical and theological legacy of this exceptional thinker.
