Man and the environment
Book Description
In a world grappling with environmental crisis, where pollution and climate disruption threaten our planet's future, author Anestis G. Keselopoulos offers a profound spiritual perspective on humanity's relationship with the natural world. Drawing from the wisdom of St. Symeon the New Theologian, a Byzantine mystic from ten centuries past, this work presents a theological framework for understanding our role as stewards of creation.
Rather than proposing technical fixes or policy solutions, Keselopoulos invites readers to explore a transformative vision that addresses the root causes of environmental destruction. Through St. Symeon's teachings, the book examines how material excess, social inequality, and the privatization of communal resources contribute to ecological devastation. The mystic's insights reveal how humanity's disconnection from the sacred dimension of nature has led to what he describes as the "rape of the earth."
At the heart of this spiritual approach lies a compelling call to action. St. Symeon challenges readers to recognize their sacred duty as co-creators, tasked with elevating the natural world to reflect divine beauty and intention. This involves learning to perceive the Word of God embedded within creation itself and helping to bring forth its hidden potential.
For those seeking a deeper understanding of environmental responsibility through a spiritual lens, this work offers both contemplative wisdom and practical guidance for living in greater harmony with the world around us.
