Ecoflourishing and Virtue Christian Perspectives Across the Disciplines

"This book is essential reading for every student and scholar alike. By focusing on one of the most important themes of our generation - articulating the place of virtue in ecological flourishing - it challenges the reader to weave together the insights of diverse disciplines both practically and creatively. The overall intent is to build a more constructive approach to thinking and acting differently in a rapidly changing and globalized world. The editors can be congratulated for bringing together a superlative line up of essayists whose approaches to earthkeeping from a variety of disciplines serve to complement each other. A predominance of essays by Christian scholars alongside a handful of poems in this collection, reinforces the argument in a way that will touch both hearts and minds." - Celia Deane-Drummond, Director, Laudato Si' Research Institute, and Senior Research Fellow, Campion Hall, University of Oxford.

"This rich anthology shows the down-to-earth power of Christian virtue ethics in this time of global ecojustice crisis. Carry this book with you. Dip into it often. Be inspired." - Paul Santmire, author of seven books on ecological theology, including The Travail of Nature and EcoActivist Testament.

"Few books in the study of Christian environmental virtue ethics engage such a far-ranging set of issues from multiple disciplinary perspectives - and by each field's leading scholars and writers on top of it. This volume will be a guide for years to come for those intentional about reflecting on what it means to be better caretakers of planet earth." - Gretel Van Wieren, Professor of Religious Studies and Philosophy, Michigan State University.
