We live in an age of vast and rapid destruction of habitats and
species. Yet Christianity holds great potential for healing this
situation. Indeed, the Bible and Christian tradition are a treasure
trove of rich images and stories about God as an "earthen" being
who sustains the natural world with compassion and thereby models
for humankind environmentally healthy ways of being. Mark Wallace's
stimulating book retrieves a central but often neglected biblical
theme - the idea of God as carnal Spirit who indwells all things -
as the basis for constructing a "green spirituality" responsive to
the environmental needs of our time. In the biblical tradition, he
writes, God as Spirit is an ecological presence that shows itself
to us daily by living in and through the earth. One message of
Christianity, therefore, is celebration of the bodily, material
world - ancient redwoods, vernal springs, broad-winged hawks,
everyday pigweed - as the place that God indwells and cares for in
order to maintain the well-being of our common planetary home.
Alongside his green reading of the Bible and tradition, Wallace
employs the resources of deep ecology, Neopagan spirituality, and
the environmental justice movement to rethink Christianity as an
earth-based, body-loving religion. He also analyzes color images
reproduced in the book. Wallace's bold yet careful work reawakens
our sense of the sacrality of the earth and the life that the
trinitarian God creates there. It also grounds the impulses of New
Age spirituality in a profoundly biblical notion of God's being and
activity.
