The Sacred Earth: Jewish Perspectives on Our Planet - Paperback
Description
by Andrue J. Kahn (Editor), Karenna Gore (Foreword by)
The Torah begins by setting forth the heavens and the Earth as God's creation,
impelling humanity to steward our planet for its own sake and for its ability to
nurture our lives. Yet the human-Divine-environment relationship seems to be in
perpetual crisis. The Sacred Earth is a contemporary Jewish response to the looming
threat of climate change, the widespread desire for experiential spirituality rooted
in nature, and the continually changing relationship between humanity, nature,
technology, and the Divine. The leading thinkers in this collection refl ect on
human vulnerability in the face of forces of nature, examine conceptions of our
place in cosmology, and grapple with environmental destruction. Ultimately,
with hope, they creatively explore ways to redeem this sacred Earth.
