What "earth-honoring" elements does Christianity have to contribute to the common good? How can we respond creatively and constructively on a local level to global issues? Editors Hessel and Rasmussen, James Cone, Ibrahim Abu-Rabi, Ernest Conradi, Steven Rockefeller, and others address the relationship between the church and our endangered environment. 250 pages, softcover from Fortress.

This signal volume gathers theologians from around the world to address three pressing questions: How can Christianity and Christian churches rethink themselves and their roles in light of the endangered earth? What "earth-honoring" elements does justice-oriented Christianity have to contribute to the common good? And how can local communities and churches respond creatively and constructively on a level to these vast global forces?

This volume captures the chief themes and presentations from the October 1998 conference on social justice, ecology, and church, entitled "Ecumenical Earth" and held at Union Theological Seminary. Among the 18 contributors to this trailblazing conference are Rasmussen and Hessel, James Cone, Kusumita Pedersen, Brigitte Kahl, Ibrahim M. Abu-Rabi, Steven Rockefeller, Havid Hallman, Ernst Conradie, Peggy Shepard, and Troy Messenger.
