God of Earth

As Christians, we believe that God, the creator of all, inhabited the earth in order to call to us. "God of Earth" embraces this central premise of Christianity--Jesus as both fully divine and fully human--and then allows for the possibility that such a Jesus need not be limited to a human man who lived in Judea two thousand years ago. What if Jesus were "God of earth"--not only over earth but also in and through the earth?

"God of Earth" opens up ideas about God that invite not only a feeling of reverence toward the earth but also a sense of wonder toward it. As Kristin Swenson explores the ever-changing and ever-renewing cycles of nature, she invites readers to reconsider our relationship to the nonhuman natural world.
