Religion in general, and Christianity in particular, appears to bear a disproportionate burden for creating humankind?s exploitative attitudes toward nature through unearthly theologies that divorce human beings and their spiritual yearnings from their natural origins. In this regard, Christianity has become an otherworldly religion that views the natural world as ?fallen,? as empty of signs of God?s presence. And yet, buried deep within the Christian tradition are startling portrayals of God as the beaked and feathered Holy Spirit ? the ?animal God,? as it were, of historic Christian witness. Through biblical readings, historical theology, continental philosophy, and personal stories of sacred nature, this book recovers the model of God in Christianity as a creaturely, avian being who signals the presence of spirit in everything, human and more-than-human alike. Mark Wallace?s recovery of the bird-God of the Bible signals a deep grounding of faith in the natural world. The moral implications of nature-based Christianity are profound. All life is deserving of humans? care and protection insofar as the world is envisioned as alive with sacred animals, plants, and landscapes. From the perspective of Christian animism, the Earth is the holy place that God made and that humankind is enjoined to watch over and cherish in like manner. Saving the environment, then, is not a political issue on the left or the right of the ideological spectrum, but, rather, an innermost passion shared by all people of faith and good will in a world damaged by anthropogenic warming, massive species extinction, and the loss of arable land, potable water, and breathable air. To Wallace, this passion is inviolable and flows directly from the heart of Christian teaching that God is a carnal, fleshy reality who is promiscuously incarnated within all things, making the whole world a sacred embodiment of God?s presence, and worthy of our affectionate concern. This beautifully and accessibly written book shows that ?Christian animism? is not a strange oxymoron, but Christianity?s natural habitat. Challenging traditional Christianity?s self-definition as an other-worldly religion, Wallace paves the way for a new Earth-loving spirituality grounded in the ancient image of an animal God. 410 0$aGroundworks (New York, N.Y.) 606 $aHuman ecology$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aAnimism 606 $aBirds$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aHoly Spirit 606 $aGod (Christianity) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aAnimism. 615 0$aBirds$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aHoly Spirit. 615 0$aGod (Christianity) 676 $a231 700 $aWallace$b Mark I.$f1956-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01028328 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480368203321 996 $aWhen God Was a Bird$92444303 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02523nam 2200577 450 001 9910787066003321 005 20230801233520.0 010 $a0-7618-5702-8 035 $a(CKB)3710000000244192 035 $a(EBL)1791706 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001374912 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11882620 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001374912 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11327092 035 $a(PQKB)10922865 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1791706 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1791706 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10938188 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL647152 035 $a(OCoLC)891447925 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000244192 100 $a20140930h20122012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAm I still my brother's keeper? $ebiblical perspectives on poverty /$fRobert Wafawanaka ; foreword by Temba L.
