The Promise of Nature

The book explores how the ecological crisis is reshaping religious beliefs, highlighting the inadequacy of current religious views in fostering a harmonious relationship with nature. Theologian John Haught argues that existing attitudes hinder meaningful dialogue between believers and scientists. He advocates for a "process language" that can bridge this gap and transform religious understanding. By viewing nature as "holy" due to its promise and future potential, Haught suggests a way to engage with the environmental crisis while preserving nature's inherent mystery.
