Is communion with God in nature possible? Is there a relationship between the God of creation, the God of history, and the God we worship in Sunday liturgies? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eNature Praising God\u003c\/i\u003e, Dermot Lane explores these questions by returning to the Bible. The Christian tradition shows that nature is understood as a living community, is graced by God, and has a sacramental character. He suggests that readers change their perception of how nature is traditionally regarded as a resource for human needs--and embrace a new way of praising God through an appreciation of and care for the myriad life forms on earth. The result of these explorations is the outline of a new theology of nature praising God, with lessons for the way we worship God in our churches today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liturgical Press Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814669105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128","brand":"Dermot Lane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42599655047349,"sku":"9780814669105","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_dc7b2211-7f3f-410c-9205-1345e32060d2.jpg?v=1673999533","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nature-praising-god-towards-a-theology-of-the-natural-world-9780814669105","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
