Earth Habitat

Earth Habitat by Dieter T. Hessel was published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers in August 2001 and is our 46516th best seller. The ISBN for Earth Habitat is 9780800632953.

This single volume gathers theologians from around the world to address three pressing questions:

How can Christianity and Christian churches rethink themselves and their roles in light of the endangered earth?

What "earth-honouring" elements does justice- oriented Christianity have to contribute to the common good?

And how can communities and churches respond creatively and constructively on a local level to these vast global forces?

This volume captures the chief themes and presentations from the October 1998 conference on social justice, ecology, and church entitled "Ecumenical Earth" and held at Union Theological Seminary.

Among the 18 contributors to this trailblazing conference are Rasmussen and Hessel, James Cone, Kusumita Pedersen, Brigitte Kahl, Ibrahim M. Abu-Rabi, Steven Rockefeller, Havid Hallman, Ernst Conradie, Peggy Shepard, and Troy Messenger.
