About this ebook
Before
Nature caps a set of themes first brought to
the fore in Santmire’s previous work, most notably the classic The Travail of Nature. Here Santmire
continues the pursuit of a theology bound up with nature and its condition,
especially the fragility and fervent expectation of nature’s redemption.
Santmire invites readers on a theological and spiritual journey to a prayerful
and contemplative knowledge of the Triune God, in which practitioners are
inducted into a bountiful relationship with the cosmic and universal ministry
of Christ and the Spirit uniting all of nature in a single vision of hope and
anticipation.
