Is there any sense of transcendence, of spirit, of Christ, of Trinity that will help rather than harm the earth today? McFague takes up these great and heavy questions with firmness and authority, with modesty and ambiguity, with wisdom and patience. No one else has yet unfolded with comparable constructive clarity the relation between the earth crisis and our notion of God.
What a joy to discover this still has its punch and doesn't feel dated nearly 30 years on!
