Ecoflourishing and Virtue

"""This book is essential reading for every student and scholar alike. By focusing on one of the most important themes of our generation – articulating the place of virtue in ecological flourishing – it challenges the reader to weave together the insights of diverse disciplines both practically and creatively. The overall intent is to build a more constructive approach to thinking and acting differently in a rapidly changing and globalized world. The editors can be congratulated for bringing together a superlative line up of essayists whose approaches to earthkeeping from a variety of disciplines serve to complement each other. A predominance of essays by Christian scholars alongside a handful of poems in this collection, reinforces the argument in a way that will touch both hearts and minds."" - Celia Deane-Drummond, Director, Laudato Si’ Research Institute, and Senior Research Fellow, Campion Hall, University of Oxford. ​​""This rich anthology shows the down-to-earth power of Christian virtue ethics in this time of global ecojustice crisis. Carry this book with you. Dip into it often. Be inspired."" - Paul Santmire, author of seven books on ecological theology, including The Travail of Nature and EcoActivist Testament. ""Few books in the study of Christian environmental virtue ethics engage such a far-ranging set of issues from multiple disciplinary perspectives – and by each field’s leading scholars and writers on top of it. This volume will be a guide for years to come for those intentional about reflecting on what it means to be better caretakers of planet earth."" - Gretel Van Wieren, Professor of Religious Studies and Philosophy, Michigan State University."
