I am in absolute awe that nobody seems to know Thomas Berry! This book more than any other book I have EVER read gave me meaningful context for EVERY other book and teaching I have ever read or otherwise incorporated. I truly mean that and am not just writing it for effect. Thomas Berry’s contribution to planetary evolution will someday be seem as immense, and I predict him to be recognized as the godfather of the unfolding ecozoic / biocratic age. Every page is a treasure trove of mind expanding gems, and even though he overuses the word numinous, we have to forgive him that as there really aren’t any suitable synonyms for it. I cannot recommend this book highly enough for anyone who has any interest whatsoever in relation to the earth and humanity’s place within the greater community of life.
