Thomas Berry: Selected Writings on the Earth Community

Edited by Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim

Maryknoll, NY: Orbis Books, 2014

Published for the centenary of his birth.

Thomas Berry (1914-2009) was a cultural historian and “geologian.” He was an early and significant voice awakening religious sensibilities to the environmental crisis. He is particularly well-known for articulating a “universe story” that explores the world-changing implications of the contemporary science. Berry pointed the way to an ecological spirituality attuned to our place in nature and giving rise to an ethic of responsibility and care for the Earth.

Thomas Berry: Selected Writings on the Earth Community was featured in Times Higher Education on August 24, 2017:

“The prophetic voice of the American eco-philosopher Thomas Berry (1914-2009) is still too little known. Yet his creative engagement with the great ecological crises of our time and his new understanding of the history of evolution as a story in whose further development humans are critically involved attracts an ever larger international following. What can be difficult is to find one’s way around his numerous works. The editors of this book, Mary Evelyn Tucker and John Grim, have done a marvellous job of presenting the heart of Berry’s thought. We hear about ‘Living a New Story’ and ‘The Great Work’ and the wisdom required from human beings to live in a mutually enhancing relationship with Earth and the Earth community. This is a most inspiring read to which I shall return again and again.”

~ Ursula King, emeritus professor of theology and religious studies, University of Bristol
