From Matthew Fox, the popular and controversial author of The Coming of the Cosmic Christ, a prophetic manifesto for the preservation of the planet.

For those new to the works of Matthew Fox, and for those eager to learn his thoughts after his Vatican-ordered public silence, comes this introduction to creation spirituality--Fox's framework for a far-reaching spirituality of the Americas.

Passionate and provocative, Fox uncovers the ancient tradition of a creation-centered spirituality that melds Christian mysticism with the contemporary struggle for social justice, feminism, and environmentalism.

Basic to Fox's notion of creation spirituality is the gift of awe--a mystical response to creation and the first step toward transformation. Awe prompts indignation at the exploitation and destruction of the earth's people and resources. Awe leads to action.

Showing how we can learn from each other, Fox's spirituality weds the healing and liberation found in both North and South America. Creation Spirituality challenges readers of every religious and political persuasion to unite in a new vision through which we learn to honor the earth and the people who inhabit it as the gift of a good and just creator.

Reviews for Creation Spirituality

'This remarkable collection of essays bears witness to the passionate commitment of the author to social justice, the understanding of science and modern spirituality.' -- John B. Thomson, New View, Summer 2005 'These luminous essays reflect the thought and deep work of a woman whose long and brilliant life has engaged some of the most profound revelations of our time.' -- Jean Houston, author of A Mythic Life : Learning to Live our Greater Story 'These essays let us participate in a personal spiritual journey to overcome the rifts between philosophy, religion, and science that characterized the twentieth century. We can learn much from them.' -- Craig Holdrege, author of Genetics and the Manipulation of Life 'May her witness inspire other generations to let a vision of faith open the human dimensions of science, as mentors like Owen Barfield and Rudolph Steiner guide us to a contemporary Thomas Aquinas.' -- David B. Burrell, University of Notre Dame
