Robin Parry grew up near Liverpool before moving to Wales at the age of ten. It was in Wales that he became a Christian. In 1991, after completing his undergraduate degree in theology and some teacher training, he got married to Carol and moved to Worcester (the original one). They have been there ever since. Robin and Carol have two daughters, Hannah and Jessica, and a cat called Monty. Having been a teacher in a Sixth Form College (1991-2001), he moved into theological publishing, first at Paternoster (2001-2010) and then at Wipf and Stock (2010-), where he works as an editor. Robin's MA and PhD were in Old Testament, both degrees overseen by Professor Gordon Wenham. Robin writes books for a hobby and is trying to learn to play the cajon.
""Parry makes a compelling case for a dynamic, Christian ecological spirituality that can enrich and transform individuals and communities. His writing is lucid, backed by brilliant scholarship, and uses humor alongside developing provocative and profound insights. Wisest book I have read in decades."" --Charles Taliaferro, Emeritus Overby Distinguished Professor, St. Olaf College ""I'm so grateful to Robin Parry for writing Christian Eco-Spirituality. He brings his deep-rooted theological understanding into conversation with his formational experiences leading worship in the cathedral gardens and has produced a truly beautiful book that is inspiring and refreshing. Whether you're wanting to discover what the Christian faith and ecology have to do with each other, or you've been living this stuff out for years, this is a book to be read slowly, savored, and lived out."" --Ruth Valerio, Eco-activist and Programmes, Partnerships, and Advocacy Director, Embrace the Middle East ""The depth of Robin Parry's academic and practical experience shines through in this compelling combination of a wisdom-centered and ecologically attentive reading of the story of the Bible with extensive creative advice about how churches and individuals can faithfully inhabit this story. A delightful book brimming with theological insight and practical hope."" --Jonathan A. Moo, Bruner-Welch Endowed Chair in Theology, Professor of New Testament and Environmental Studies, Whitworth University ""There is an entire world to draw into our Christian worship and discipleship--quite literally--a world we may have been overlooking. The Revd Robin Parry, overseer of wild worship in the sanctuary garden by the towering Worcester Cathedral, offers this carefully written, thoughtful guide to enacting Christian eco-spirituality and understanding why it matters. I really like this book! Open your eyes and hands to the divine Word and Wisdom expressed in the creation of God."" --Esther Lightcap Meek, Professor of Philosophy Emerita, Geneva College ""Robin Parry's truly original Christian Eco-Spirituality is a comprehensive and readable survey of the subject. The first part presents the theological basis of eco-spirituality through the lens of Sophia-wisdom, and the second part explores its practical outworking, including topics such as forest church and eco-anxiety. Highly recommended."" --Martin J. Hodson, Environmental Biologist and Principal Tutor for Christian Rural and Environmental Studies ""A tour de force of the landscape of Christian eco-spirituality which deftly moves through biblical and theological reflection so as to root worship within lives lived holistically as a part of God's creation, not apart from it, at a time of ecological crisis."" --Graham Usher, Bishop of Norwich and the Church of England's Lead Bishop for Environment
