Science & Faith

“Sound spirituality and sound science share a common goal—to expand our perspective on reality and see the big picture. Theologian and environmental scientist Cliff Cain offers a concise but substantial reflection on what some of the world’s greatest holy fools and sacred visionaries can say to us today, who live on the edge of environmental catastrophe. In the lives and words of figures ranging from the Christian saint Francis of Assisi to the Buddhist sage Ryôkan, Cain finds wisdom that speaks to both spiritual and scientific aspects of our current crisis and points to possible routes to reconciliation with the planet, our animal brethren, and ourselves.”
