Rainbow of Mysteries: Meeting the Sacred in Nature

Autor Norman Habel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2023
In the biblical Flood narrative, the rainbow was the sign of God's covenant promise to never again to destroy the Earth with flood waters. The rainbow served to remind God of God's own bond with Earth. "My rainbow," says Habel, "represents my covenant promise to explore my bonds with Earth, my spiritual connections with creation." Each colour represents an often-overlooked aspect of creation and inspires the reader to consider our place in nature.

Recenzii

This wondrously poetic hymn of praise to creation, exuding the wisdom of eight amazing decades of life, comes straight from the heart of one of the most creative minds of our generation. Norman Habel opens scripture to the fullness of creation, acknowledges the faults of the Christian tradition, interprets the landscape through the lenses of mystery and ecology, draws upon his own rich experience of communion with Earth, and sees with clear eyes the presence of Spirit in all of nature. Habel challenges some of our most basic assumptions about ourselves and our relationship with the rest of Earth. It is just what the doctor ordered for weary souls and tired Earth-keepers. I recommend this powerful little volume to every human Earth being! DAVID RHOADS, Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago; Director, Lutherans Restoring Creation.
This is a wonderful book. Norman Habel draws on a deep vein of biblical scholarship (he is an esteemed Hebrew Bible scholar), his interpretive work from The Earth Bible series, and his own personal experiences of nature. It is very rich on many levels (intellectual, imaginative, spiritual) as well as being a helpful and practical guide on how we might each develop our own ways to meet the sacred in nature. It warmed my heart to read this book. Highly recommended! -- Margaret Miller -- 20120829
This book opened my heart, over and over again. Habel was converted by ecology to a relationship with the living Earth that is pervaded by Mystery. It is tempting to call Habel an Earth mystic. But God is not hidden. A Presence shines out everywhere in the reds of the sunset to the orange clay of his beautiful homeland. I'm adding this book to my required reading list for all Christians who want to heal the historic and tragic separation of matter and spirit. Highly recommended. -- Bruce Sanguin, Author of The Advance of Love: Reading the Bible with an Evolutionary Heart -- 20120606
After 60 years of scholarly biblical interpretation and ecological theology, Habel opens his heart and writes about his return to his original parent, Earth. Mourning centuries of Christian dualistic separation of earth and spirit that sought God 'above' or 'beyond', and devalued Earth, Habel invites us to re-discover, re-taste, and re-embrace Earth as holy. This beautifully moving and lyrical memoir-reflection containing story, poetry, liturgy, and study guide is to be experienced and savoured. -- Dr. Val Webb, Australian theologian and author of Like Catching Water in a Net: Human Attempts to Describe the Divine and Stepping Out with the Sacred: Human Attempts to Engage the Divine -- 20120606
