IF WE LOSE THE EARTH WE LOSE OUR SOULS - BRUNO ...

In this book Bruno Latour calls upon Christians to join the struggle to avert a climate
catastrophe. First and foremost  Christians need to overcome their lack of interest in 'earthly
things' and pay attention to the Earth at a time when it is being neglected. He also urges
Christians to renew their understanding of their faith in the context of the new image of the
world that has emerged from Earth system science - that of a world in which the myriad of
beings that inhabit the world are interdependent and living in close proximity on a slender 
fragile membrane on the surface of the planet. This new image of the world cannot fail to have
an impact on the sciences  on politics and on religion  just as  in earlier centuries  the
cosmology of Copernicus and Galileo upset the old order. Latour sees the ecological crisis  and
the cosmological mutation that it entails  as an opportunity to convey anew  to the largest
possible audience  the tradition of Christianity as it has never been appreciated before  by
bringing to bear the lessons of eschatology on the great crisis that looms before us all.
