Unity and Harmony: Toward and Ecospirituality - (Ecology and Justice) by Victorino Perez Prieto (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

The great problem of our time, according to Victorino Pérez Prieto, is superficiality--living on the surface, indifferent to Reality, unaware of our relationship with everything. The consequences are both spiritual and existential, since they directly threaten the health of our planet and all its creatures. Science, philosophers, the intuitions of the mystics, the "green" tradition in Christianity, and the wisdom of the great religious traditions all point to the interrelationship of all things. Pope Francis confirmed this perspective in Laudato Si', describing reality as a seamless garment, where everything is connected and intertwined. This is the essential principle of ecology, and it is the basis in Unity and Harmony for a comprehensive ecospirituality that meets the challenge of our time.

Review Quotes

"This book serves as an invitation to discover greater cohesion and human solidarity on a resource-depleted planet. It arrives at a critical juncture in our planetary history. As Thomas Berry poignantly reminded us: 'We will go into the future as a single sacred community, or we will all perish in the desert.'"--From the foreword by Ilia Delio, author, The Not-Yet God

"Unity and Harmony is a timely and inspiring call to awaken ecological consciousness within and beyond faith traditions. Rooted in a relational understanding of reality, this work courageously moves toward creating a new ecospirituality that honors the sacred interconnectedness of all life. It offers a prophetic challenge to explore new pathways of human solidarity and systemic transformation to foster the fullness of life in a more just and compassionate world." --Rev. Dr. Bridget Mary Meehan, Global Ministries University, People's Catholic Seminary
