- Book Synopsis
- Encounter enlightening and engaging views of monastic love for God's creation. In Jesus in Nature, Samuel Torvend uncovers the hidden story of monastic reflection on the presence of Jesus Christ in creation. With frequent references to contemporary life, he offers a comprehensive view of Jesus in his natural world and the various ways in which early medieval monastics discerned the presence of the risen Christ in nature's seasons, in flora and fauna, and in the pulsating energy that gives life to all things. For Christians who care for our common home, the earth, Torvend offers groundbreaking and enlightening views of monastic love for God's first gift, the creation, and presents wisdom for living today in a world that needs thoughtful persons of faith who are friends of the earth and its many creatures. In this book, readers are invited to engage the Book of Nature and the Book of Scripture and thus further their conversation between faith and science.
