God is reconciling all things in heaven and on earth. We are
alienated not only from one another, but also from the land that
sustains us. Our ecosystems are increasingly damaged, and human
bodies are likewise degraded. Most of us have little understanding
of how our energy is derived or our food is produced, and many of
our current industrialized practices are both unhealthy for our
bodies and unsustainable for the planet. Agriculturalist Fred
Bahnson and theologian Norman Wirzba declare that in Christ, God
reconciles all bodies into a peaceful, life-promoting relationship
with one another. Because human beings are incarnated in material,
bodily existence, we are necessarily interdependent with plants and
animals, land and sea, heaven and earth. The good news is that
redemption is cosmic, with implications for agriculture and
ecology, from farm to dinner table. Bahnson and Wirzba describe
communities that model cooperative practices of relational life,
with local food production, eucharistic eating and delight in God's
provision. Reconciling with the land is a rich framework for a new
way of life. Read this book to start down the path to restoring
shalom and experiencing Jesus' kingdom of shared abundance, where
neighbors are fed and all receive enough.
