In a timely new release, Salomon revisits political polarization, compassion fatigue, even Girardian Theory, making the case that religious leaders absolutely must include neurodiverse humanity in religious life as spiritual equals, carefully listen to the spiritual voices of neurodiversity and accommodate neurodiverse individuals, if organized religion is going to have positive, life-affirming relations with the neurodiversity barricade, at all. In Salomon's long awaited autism story, Salomon addresses directly how his autistic Christian ecological identity informs his activism, scholarship, method of theological reflection and spirituality. Salomon bases his "serious and radical" critique of normal society on the planetary crisis and institutional animal cruelty, attempting to reconcile disability justice with the planetary agenda, in the process. Salomon demonstrates that in the long-run, including neurodiversity and disability justice on the planetary agenda will help accelerate non-disabled efforts towards sustainability, justice and nonviolence. Salomon offers a practical framework with concrete guidance to the various disability and faith communities alike from a Christian liberation theology perspective, which will help realize a world worth living in, for everyone.

Salomon is back with an all-new book on Christian ecotheology, with the goal of "breaking the silence" on "political polarization" and "compassion fatigue." Salomon candidly takes on positively, constructively, and sympathetically, the highly controversial, highly taboo, yet highly urgent topics of "political polarization" and "compassion fatigue" in politics and religion. All this is within an ecological-planetary context, including animals, disability, and neurodiversity. "Have Mercy on Me" is Salomon's most personal, creative, and accessible work yet. Salomon not only confesses his own stories of brushes with "political polarization" and struggles with "compassions fatigue." Salomon also confesses how the God of the Bible has helped him recover from "compassion fatigue" both personally and politically, helping Salomon to not give-up on the ecological struggle. Salomon identifies "compassion fatigue" as a major problem. He bases his conclusions on his own hard-won experiences, the experiences of other activists, and extensive research. "Compassion Fatigue" is a major issue which green movements need to take more seriously then they have, to help move the planetary agenda beyond political impasse to ecological resolution. At its heart, Salomon maintains that "compassion fatigue" occurs because we lack appropriate integration between our highest ideals and our everyday realities. "Have Mercy on Me, an Ecological Sinner" not only provides fresh critical analysis of the previsions, hypocrisies, and atrocities of various religious and secular movements throughout human history from Christianity to Communism. It also offers an alternative, more positive, empowering Christian ecological vision, and a much more hopeful, satisfying scenario about the future of Life on Earth. Moving beyond partisan politics, polemic posturing, divisive thinking, and false choices, Salomon crosses academic disciplines, political ideologies, religious faiths, even oceans, in an attempt to create a more inclusive, accessible, and doctrinally sound, yet uniquely Christian ecological vision. Salomon argues for ecological activism without partisan politics, environmental ethics without religious guilt, deep ecology without heretical doctrine, and God without organized religion. Salomon brings together all his secular academic training, Christian faith, Jewish identity, political commitments, previous works, and his life experiences being a person with Asperger's. He creates a Christian ecopsychology which contends that there is a relationship between the alienation of modern humanity, institutional animal cruelty, and the planetary crisis which must be redressed through personal relationships, political empowerment, and ecological hope.

Daniel Salomon unveils a "makeover" of his earlier concept--- a proposed Master of Arts Program in Christian Environmental Studies which is full, in-residency, accredited, non-secular, Christocentric, and life-affirming. With refined syllabuses and readings, a more user-friendly format and a proposal for a faith-based school of the environment, Salomon incoroperates new insights, new resources, new breakthroughs in the feild and over five years of hard-won professional experience. Showing why existing programs are insufficient and getting beyond just trying to convert Christians to environmentalism, Christian Environmental Studies helps people, once they are on board with the Christian environmental "bandwagon," steady the course. Christian Environmental Studies is for anyone who wants to deepen and live-out their ecological commitments and is especially targeted towards Christian academics and administrators at seminaries, theological schools, divinity schools, and Christian colleges and universities, who want to address the environment, but are not quite sure how to do it. At heart, Christian Environmental Studies is a book about Christian environmental leadership. In an issue no more urgent, Salomon continues to talk to the Christian faith community about the need to harness, systematize, and structure their newfound ecological awareness toward creating green social structures in the Body of Christ. Focusing on the sector of Christian academia, Salomon makes the case why Christians need to channel their impetus for global environmental change towards the goal of actualization and realization making ecological commitments systemic and structural to Christiantom. Salomon demonstrates why it is time now to take Christian environmentalism to the next level. It is time more than ever, especially since Christian environmentalism is more and more being adopted by theologians, pastors and even by some secular environmentalists, to get beyond angry sermons and top-down resolutions, to looking at planetary issues more thoughtfully, to empower more colloberation by the laity, to fully welcome the full diversity of the environmental and animal movements, becomming a more coherent, life-affirming ecological voice in the process. Moving the planetary agenda from Sunday worship services to Christian acedemia and involving the laity would reduce political polarization in America, increase ecological commitment and maybe even save community in America.
