Political Spirituality in the Face of Climate Collapse

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the contemporary climate crisis, the book urges a shift towards an ecologically-centered and culturally-informed way of living, particularly from a Christian perspective. James W. Perkinson traces the roots of our current ecological and socio-political issues back 5,000 years to the emergence of city-states in Mesopotamia and Egypt, which he argues have led to the exploitation of both labor and ecosystems. He emphasizes the need to rethink our relationship with the natural world, recognizing our interdependence with it as essential for cultural and environmental survival.
