EcoActivist Testament

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In today’s Anthropocene, ‘thin hope’ is analogous to what Bonhoeffer called ‘cheap grace.’ Hope is often claimed but not actively pursued. . . . Santmire addresses this theological deficiency and offers intimate commentary on living into radical hope amid planetary ruin. Born of fifty-plus years of place-based reflection, study, and prayer, EcoActivist Testament threads story, scriptural reasoning, spiritual practice, and lament into a fabric that is capable of girding Christians who seek strength and joy in the struggle to be ‘Earthkin.’”
