The Sacred Universe

Earth, Spirituality, and Religion in the Twenty-First Century

De: Thomas Berry

Narrado por: Peter Lerman

A leading scholar, cultural historian, and Catholic priest who spent more than 50 years writing about our engagement with the Earth, Thomas Berry possessed prophetic insight into the rampant destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of species. In this book he makes a persuasive case for an interreligious dialogue that can better confront the environmental problems of the 21st century.

These erudite and keenly sympathetic essays represent Berry's best work, covering such issues as human beings' modern alienation from nature and the possibilities of future, regenerative forms of religious experience. Asking that we create a new story of the universe and the emergence of the Earth within it, Berry situates the human spirit within a sacred totality.

The book is published by Columbia University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.
