In an age of climate change, how do we protect species and individual animals? Does it matter how we treat bugs? How does understanding the Trinity and Christ''s self-emptying nature help us to be more responsible earth caretakers? What do Christian ethics have to do with hunting? How do the Foxfire books of Southern Appalachia help us to love a place? Does ecology need a place at the pulpit and in hymns? How do Catholic approaches, past and present, help us appreciate and respond to the created world? Finally, how does Jesus respond to humans, nonhumans, and environmental concerns in the Gospel of Mark?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book to put on your ‘must read’ list. Ecotheology and Nonhuman Ethics offers a significant interfaith conversation on living as an integrated and ‘faithful’ part of the earth community. This collection of essays is a stimulating and thought-provoking read for personal or classroom use, designed to promote thoughtful reflection on the intersection between faith, human relatedness to the whole of creation, and the necessity of an intentional, compassionate lifestyle. -- Ginger Hanks Harwood, La Sierra University\u003cbr\u003eEnvironmentalists have many hangups about religion, which is unfortunate since religion has a depth and richness of ecological insight upon which these thinkers might draw. In bringing these various voices back to the environmentalist's table, Melissa Brotton winsomely reminds us that the various religious traditions so often ignored as the cause of all our ecological woes might just actually contain the resources for viable solutions.  -- Doug Sikkema, University of Waterloo\u003cbr\u003eEcotheology and Nonhuman Ethics in Society provides a map and pathway toward reconciliation with God and a wounded creation. These essays recover and extend conversations in ethics, cultural studies, Christian thought, biblical interpretation, and liturgical studies to show us what ecological stewardship looks like when practiced with humility, repentance, and compassion. The scholars gathered here represent a wide range of academic disciplines and faith communities, but their collective voice is working toward an integrative ecology that would allow all of creation to flourish in worshipful response to the creator.  -- Chad Wriglesworth, St. Jerome's University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword  David Clough   Introduction to Ecotheology and Nonhuman Ethics: A Community of Compassion Melissa J.
