Reviews
Dermot Lane is a prophetic leader inspiring the church's growing ecological consciousness. In Nature Praising God, Lane develops a new theology of nature in which earth-care is integral to Christian faith. He argues for the retrieval of the forgotten biblical insight that nature praises God. To achieve this, he thinks outside the anthropocentric box to work out a fresh and theologically rich understanding of the natural world. Margaret Daly-Denton, author of Psalm-Shaped Prayerfulness In this clear and readable book, Fr. Lane sketches how ecological awareness can, and should, help us to reshape Catholic theology and worship for living together on a planet in crisis. Highly recommended. Terrence W. Tilley, Professor Emeritus of Theology, Fordham University
""Lane urges us humans to move away from an anthropocentric and instrumentalist view of nature to regarding it as grace-filled and charged with God's grandeur in a way that transforms our liturgy and our work in the world."" Catholic Books Review-- (2/1/2024 12:00:00 AM) ""Dermot Lane offers us an intriguing, stimulating theological contribution centered around a question that has been hiding in plain sight: When the Bible speaks of nature praising God, what does that mean?"" Catholic Books Review-- (11/3/2023 12:00:00 AM) ""A book which sparkles with delightful thoughts inspired both by nature and by humanity."" The Irish Catholic ""A good book, written with verve, challenge, coherence, clarity, and zeal.""
