Where the Pure Water Flows:

the New Story of the Universe

and Christian Faith

 

Never losing sight of this critical moment in the history of life - scientists tell us we are living in the midst of a human-induced extinction period- author Margaret Galiardi accompaies believers as they grapple with three things: (1) what science is now telling us about our common origin story; (2) an understanding of Christian faith appropriate for the 21st century; (3) the future of the life of our imperiled planet.

 

Skillfully and creatively weaving together insights from scientists, theologians and poets in a fresh new way, and replete with hard questions that arise from earlier understandings of the Christian tradition, reviewers say readers will be guided into considering credible intelligent ways to move beyond their struggles in the faith-science dialogue and lean into a wider world of thought and belief.

 

Through a series of well placed reflection experiences scattered throughout the pages of this attractive little book, readers are challenged to acknowledge the urgency of adopting an ethic of protecting the self-revelation of God which is Earth.

Margaret Ormond, OP, former coordinator of Dominican Sisters International, calls this book,

"A must-read for all of us who eadeavor to be faithful to our calling

at this moment in history."

 Other Readers had said:

"Reading this book will move you to participate in and take responsibility for God's creation NOW." 

 

 
"With a clarity that is impressive Margaret draws on a range of thinkers:  from Chardin and Thomas Berry to Elizabeth Johnson and Aquinas and John of the Cross and John Haught and Sallie McFague, to Linda Gibler and Mariam Therese MacGillis, OP,  creating a  very readable yet challenging and thoughtful text. "
