Introduction

This is a gospel of personal stories, science, and existential hope for the Jesus-curious and those who want to know what Green means.

Modern people are like the passengers on the Titanic; the triumphs of technology have real limitations. They face the necessity to share the planet that takes them to hard politics. Economics can be integrated with ecology and the essentials of human relationships.

The history of Jesus may make him an uncertain figure, but his demand to live for the best can still be felt.

Influences and Themes

Whitehouse draws on paleontologist Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and existentialist Paul Tillich to claim 'home for all, not just for humans' is a universal biological phenomenon and a truth named by Jesus.

A biodiversity of illustrations entertains and reveals; trees can speak, dead birds teach, and rivers become persons.

Jesus Green and the Home

Then Jesus Green emerges, as a systems thinker, for the home. If Jesus was homeless for a cause, he found his home on the cross, now a paradoxical symbol that lifts up our place within nature.

This creative, passionate account delivers the punch other Green Christian books lack. It could not have come sooner.
