John Chryssavgis explores the sacred dimension of the natural
environment, and the significance of creation in the rich
theological history and spiritual classics of the Orthodox Church,
through the lens of its unique ascetical, liturgical and mystical
experience. The global ecological crisis affecting humanity's air,
water, and land, as well as the planet's flora and fauna, has
resulted in manifest fissures on the image of God in creation.
Chryssavgis examines, from an Orthodox Christian perspective, the
possibility of restoring that shattered image through the
sacramental lenses of cosmic transfiguration, cosmic
interconnection, and cosmic reconciliation. The viewpoints of early
theologians and contemporary thinkers are extensively explored from
a theological and spiritual perspective, including countering those
who deny that God's creation is in crisis. Presenting a worldview
advanced and championed by the Orthodox Church in the modern world,
this book encourages personal and societal transformation in making
ethical and economic choices that respect creation as sacrament.
