Riassunto

In The Cosmic Circle Edward P. Echlin relates Jesus Christ to ecology. He looks at Jesus in his Nazareth years as craftsman and food grower, and his connection with the earth, ecology and the environment. He looks at Jesus' baptism in the Jordan and his effect on water and wilderness, the inclusion of the earth in his ministry, miracles and teaching, and the importance of the earth in his redemptive act.
The book notes inclusion of the earth community in Jesus' suffering, and death on the cosmic cross, effecting the whole cosmos, and his resurrection 'filling all things'. 'The breadth and length and height and depth' (Eph. 3.18) of Jesus' love includes the earth.
The author maintains that the risen Jesus is present, filling the earth today, inviting us to respond to the earth, to heal where earth is suffering and to be leading friends of the earth. Reintegration with the earth, in a mutually supportive relationship of humans with the earth community, is, according to Echlin, the defining issue of the twenty-first century.
The book includes reading and other aids to assist Christians, and other concerned earth people, to relate to the earth community.
