Reviews
One cannot do such a wonderful work justice in a short review such as this. However, I will summarize by saying that this is an excellent book with well-reasoned arguments and should be adopted by the Eastern Orthodox Church as the guide to reintroducing early Church teachings on care for the Creation into modern day teaching and practice. It is also highly relevant to Catholic and indeed all Christian communities who share a common history with the Eastern Orthodox Church. I thoroughly recommend this book.
