Hearing Earth's Call: Life and Livelihood in First John - Paperback
Description
by Rodolfo Felices Luna (Author)
ECOLOGY & JUSTICE SERIES
First John is not immediately thought of as one of the environmentalist texts of the Bible, but Rodolfo Felices Luna's fresh approach to its themes of life and love reveal a rich inheritance for both eco-critical readings of scripture and faithful Christian action for environmental well-being. Here, Luna explicitly challenges interpretations of First John that only consider the human while ignoring our place in the whole household of creation. He deftly and accessibly takes up Pope Francis's calls for an integral ecology in the life of faith, animating our reading of and living from scripture.Back Jacket
