New Testaments; Christian leaders & leadership; Ecological science, the Biosphere

This is a gospel of personal stories, science, and existential hope for the Jesus-curious and those who want to know what Green means. Modern people are like the passengers on the Titanic; the triumphs of technology have real limitations. They face the necessity to share the planet that takes them to hard politics. Economics can be integrated with ecology and the essentials of human relationships. The history of Jesus may make him an uncertain figure, but his demand to live for the best can still be felt. Whitehouse draws on paleontologist Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and existentialist Paul Tillich to claim ''home for all, not just for humans'' is a universal biological phenomenon and a truth named by Jesus. A biodiversity of illustrations entertains and reveals; trees can speak, dead birds teach, and rivers become persons. Then Jesus Green emerges, as a systems thinker, for the home. If Jesus was homeless for a cause, he found his home on the cross, now a paradoxical symbol that lifts up our place within nature. This creative, passionate account delivers the punch other Green Christian books lack. It could not have come sooner.

Reviews for The Gospel of Jesus Green: Home for All, Not Just for Humans

"""The Gospel of Jesus Green is so much more than a book to read. Neil Whitehouse invites the reader into a conversation that weaves Scripture, history, theology, and philosophy with his own story and invites us to do the same. Through the weaving, a tapestry emerges of a new image of Jesus: one who calls us into radical relationship with ourselves, each other, and all creation. It is here, in this sacred connection, that we discover we are both healed and healers."" --Karen Oliveto, bishop, Mountain Sky Episcopal Area, The United Methodist Church"
